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

This study was a retrospective analysis of the efficacy of thrombectomy plus local catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) for the treatment of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (LDVT). The experimental group underwent thrombectomy plus LCDT, whereas the control group underwent thrombectomy plus systemic thrombolysis via the dorsalis pedis vein. Venography and vascular color Doppler ultrasound were performed 7 days after surgery and at follow-up. The differences in the thigh and calf circumferences of normal and affected limbs were compared between groups. The venous patency score and venous patency rate were used for outcome evaluation. Compared with the control group, the experimental group showed a lower venous patency score and higher venous patency rate after treatment (P<0.05). Thirty patients were followed for 3 to 6 months, and according to the last evaluation, the differences in thigh and calf circumference between the normal and affected limbs remained lower in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.05). Moreover, the venous patency score was lower, and the venous patency rate was higher in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.05).

conclusionThrombectomy plus CDT yields a higher venous patency rate and lower recurrence rate than pure thrombectomy for the treatment of LDVT.
