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

In this report, we describe the case of a woman with phlegmasia cerulea dolens of the lower left extremity secondary to iliac vein compression by a massive uterine lipoleiomyoma. She underwent left iliofemoral vein mechanical thrombectomy for prevention of critical limb ischemia days before a total abdominal hysterectomy. Immediately after thrombectomy, she developed compartment syndrome, requiring four-compartment fasciotomy. She developed recurrent thrombosis of the left iliac vein and inferior vena cava, requiring further thrombectomy at the time of hysterectomy before placement of an infrarenal inferior vena cava filter. She later underwent fasciotomy incision closure and was discharged on anticoagulation with resolution of her symptoms.
