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

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene mutations, particularly homozygous mutations, have been associated with a higher incidence of venous thrombosis, coronary heart disease, and obstetric complications. We report the case of a 41-year-old man who presented with multiple vascular thrombotic events over a period of 4-5 years, including deep vein thrombosis with pulmonary thromboembolism, cerebral venous thrombosis and posterior circulation stroke. The patient was found to have elevated serum homocysteine levels and subsequently underwent genetic testing for MTHFR mutations after other potential prothrombotic conditions were excluded. This case is notable because compound heterozygous mutations of the MTHFR gene (C677T and A1298C) were identified in association with recurrent vascular thrombotic events. Management focused on long-term anticoagulation and supplementation with vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and folic acid.
