Ischemic stroke despite therapeutic anticoagulation in eosinophilic fasciitis with compartment syndrome and deep vein thrombosis: a case report.
Article in Thrombosis journal, 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
backgroundEosinophilic fasciitis is a rare connective tissue disorder characterized by fascial inflammation and eosinophil infiltration. Thromboembolic complications in eosinophilic fasciitis are uncommon and poorly understood. We report a case that highlights the limitations of conventional anticoagulation in preventing eosinophil-mediated thrombosis. CASE PRESENTATION: A 60-year-old Chinese man presented with a 10-day history of progressive bilateral lower extremity swelling and pain. Laboratory investigations revealed severe hypereosinophilia and imaging revealed left lower-extremity deep vein thrombosis complicated by acute compartment syndrome. Despite therapeutic enoxaparin anticoagulation with documented hypocoagulable state on thromboelastography, the patient developed bilateral lacunar infarctions on day 7. Bone marrow aspiration excluded hematological malignancies, and fascial biopsy confirmed eosinophilic fasciitis. Following glucocorticoid therapy initiation, eosinophil levels normalized with complete resolution of symptoms. No recurrence of thrombotic events was observed during one-year follow-up.
conclusionThis case highlights that eosinophilic fasciitis-associated hypereosinophilia can induce a prothrombotic state resistant to conventional anticoagulation, likely through eosinophil granule protein-mediated mechanisms. Early recognition and prompt glucocorticoid therapy, rather than anticoagulation alone, may be critical for preventing life-threatening thromboembolic complications in eosinophilic fasciitis. This report adds to the limited literature on thrombotic manifestations of eosinophilic fasciitis and underscores the need for heightened clinical vigilance and a shift in therapeutic paradigm toward early immunosuppression.
