Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy combined with catheter-directed thrombolysis in the treatment of acute pulmonary embolism and lower extremity deep venous thrombosis: A novel one-stop endovascular strategy.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
Objective This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) combined with catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (APE) and lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (LEDVT). Methods In total, 20 consecutive patients with APE and LEDVT were prospectively selected for PMT combined with CDT. Mechanical thrombus fragmentation and aspiration using a pigtail rotation catheter followed by CDT was performed in each patient. Details regarding the patients' clinical presentation and outcome, pulmonary status parameters (pulmonary arterial pressure, partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood, Miller score, thigh and calf circumference, and shock index), and lower extremity parameters (thrombus-lysis grade and Villalta scale score) were recorded. Results All 20 patients' clinical manifestations significantly improved. Both the clinical success rate and technical success rate were 100%. No major adverse events occurred during hospitalization. Four patients developed iliac vein compression syndrome and underwent stent implantation in the iliac vein. No pulmonary embolism recurred within 16.5±6.8 months of follow-up. Conclusions The combination of PMT and CDT is a safe and effective treatment for APE and LEDVT with good short- and intermediate-term clinical outcomes.
