Mercury poisoning in a patient with thrombotic events: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2026. 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
Mercury poisoning is an underdiagnosed condition in our setting. It affects multiple organs and systems, often presenting with variable and nonspecific symptoms that may mimic more common diseases. We report the case of a 42-year-old female patient who presented with multiple arterial and venous thrombotic events, cardiovascular complications, progressive cognitive impairment, and long-standing renal dysfunction. Imaging studies revealed embolic phenomena characterized by hyperdense material suggestive of metallic emboli in the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis, raising suspicion of heavy metal poisoning. Diagnosis was confirmed by a 24-hour urinary mercury concentration of 64.03 µg/L. Chelation therapy with the available agent in our setting was initiated, along with intravenous N-acetylcysteine. Selenium was not administered due to its unavailability. Mercury intoxication poses a diagnostic challenge due to its nonspecific clinical manifestations, which may be attributed to more prevalent pathologies in the region.
