Rectus sheath hematoma in an elderly male with anticoagulation therapy-a diagnostic challenge.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Rectus sheath hematoma (RSH) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition, often underdiagnosed due to its non-specific presentation. We report a case of a 71-year-old male admitted for pneumonia, who developed hypotension, urinary retention, and a palpable pelvic mass after receiving low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) for new-onset atrial fibrillation. Ultrasound suggested a pelvic abnormality, and computed tomography angiography (CTA) confirmed a large rectus sheath hematoma with active venous bleeding. The patient underwent successful embolization of the right inferior epigastric artery, resulting in hemodynamic stabilization. This case highlights the importance of maintaining high clinical suspicion for RSH in anticoagulated patients and emphasizes the need for early imaging and multidisciplinary management to prevent complications.
