Upper Limb Deep Vein Thrombosis Following Pacemaker Insertion: A Report of Two Cases.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Upper limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) has become a more common condition due to the growing use of cardiac device implantation. We report two cases of left upper limb DVT occurring five days and three months, respectively, after permanent pacemaker implantation. Both patients presented with progressive swelling of the left upper limb associated with dilated superficial veins across the left chest and upper arm. Ultrasound (US) compression venography confirmed occlusive thrombi in the left axillary and subclavian veins. They received direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) therapy after the diagnosis. This case series highlights the variable timing of symptom onset following permanent pacemaker insertion and emphasises the other risk factors, such as essential thrombocythaemia, to the development of upper limb DVT.
