Intermittent upper limb cyanosis revealing Paget-Schroetter syndrome: the value of patient-provided photographs.
Article in International journal of emergency medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
backgroundPaget-Schroetter Syndrome (PSS) is a rare condition referring to primary upper extremity deep vein thrombosis occurring in the context of venous thoracic outlet syndrome (vTOS) The diagnosis is rarely considered in the emergency department (ED) and is difficult to establish when symptoms are intermittent or absent at presentation. CASE PRESENTATION: A healthy 20-year-old woman presented three times in the ED, describing exertional right arm swelling and cyanosis. During consultations, she was slighty symptomatic. Duplex ultrasound showed axillary-subclavian thrombosis and computerized tomography scan (CT) phlebography revealed bilateral dynamic vTOS. Anticoagulation and thrombectomy were performed, with planned surgical decompression. The diagnosis was triggered by patient-provided photographs capturing intermittent symptoms.
conclusionPSS may be missed in mild to moderate symptomatic ED presentations. Early vascular imaging and careful history-taking, including patient photographs, can enable timely treatment and prevent complications.
