1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) and nontraumatic subdural hemorrhage (SDH) were rare but severe complications in hemodialysis patients. This case report presented a 73-year-old male with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on long-term hemodialysis who developed SVCS due to central venous occlusion, subsequently complicated by SDH. After interventional treatment of SVCS with balloon angioplasty and stent placement in the left brachiocephalic vein and SVC, both the SVCS and SDH were resolved. This case gave hint to the pathophysiological connection between venous congestion and SDH, as the obstruction of the SVC led to increased intracranial venous pressure, contributing to SDH. Additionally, anticoagulation and dialysis-induced hemodynamic fluctuations may exacerbate the condition. This report highlights the need for timely intervention to relieve venous congestion in SVCS, which not only restores vascular access but also prevents severe neurological complications like SDH in hemodialysis patients.
