A Case of Trousseau Syndrome: A Report Detailing Recurrent Ischaemic Strokes Associated With Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer and Pulmonary Embolisms Despite Treatment With Direct Oral Anticoagulation.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Pancreatic cancer is a malignancy strongly associated with cancer-related hypercoagulability. Venous thromboses are a well-documented complication of pancreatic cancer, but there is less awareness and focus on arterial events such as ischaemic stroke and myocardial infarction. We present the case of a patient who was diagnosed with ischaemic stroke preceding a diagnosis of an occult metastatic pancreatic malignancy and concurrent pulmonary embolism. Despite treatment with therapeutic doses of direct oral anticoagulation, the patient subsequently developed recurrent bilateral ischaemic strokes. This case highlights the challenges of managing mixed venous and arterial thromboembolic disease in patients with pancreatic cancer and illustrates the aggressive, refractory nature of Trousseau syndrome.
