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

Superficial thrombophlebitis, also known as superficial venous thrombosis, is an inflammatory condition involving the veins just below the surface of the skin secondary to clotted blood within that vein. The majority of cases are self-limited or resolve with a short course of anti-inflammatory medications and the application of warm compresses. Due to the self-limited nature of this disease process, clinically significant complications have rarely been described but are being seen more often in recent literature. This case report discusses an instance of superficial thrombophlebitis that occurred secondary to a routine blood draw and progressed to potentially life-threatening deep vein thrombosis. This case highlights the need for physicians to be aware of the potential complications of superficial thrombophlebitis and the importance of delivering strict return precautions to every patient with this condition.
