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

DiGeorge syndrome (22q11.2 deletion syndrome) is a congenital disorder typically identified in infancy, but adult presentations may feature autoimmune and thrombotic complications. We report a 30-year-old woman with known DiGeorge syndrome who presented with progressive right lower extremity pain. She had a recent history of transverse sinus stenting and was on dual anti-platelet therapy with anticoagulation. Evaluation revealed left internal jugular vein thrombosis, abnormal distal pulses, and positive antiphospholipid antibodies. Her symptoms were attributed to vascular compromise in the setting of autoimmune thrombosis. This case highlights the need for vigilance for late-onset thrombotic manifestations in adults with DiGeorge syndrome, especially following invasive procedures, and reinforces the value of multidisciplinary and immunologic assessment in complex cases.
