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

purposeTo assess the filter tilting and outcomes of the Celect and Denali inferior vena cava (IVC) filters by using a propensity score-matching analysis. MATERIALS AND

methodsFrom January 2009 to November 2017, 181 Celect and 58 Denali filters were inserted in our institution. To assess filter tilt, filter tip abutment or penetration of the IVC wall, and retrieval outcome, independent variables, including age, sex, IVC long diameter, IVC angulation, and proximity of the filter to renal vein insertion, were entered in the propensity model. Comparative analyses were performed before and after propensity score-matching analysis.

resultsThirty-one patients were enrolled in each group for the final propensity score-matching analysis. The mean filter indwelling time was not significantly different between the groups (26 ± 22 days in Celect and 27 ± 23 days in Denali). After propensity score adjustment, the mean degree of filter tilt was higher in the Celect group (9.5° ± 7.4° vs 5.6° ± 6.7°). Filter tip abutment or penetration of the IVC wall was more common in the Celect group (39% [12/31, abutment: 12, penetration: 0] vs 13% [4/31, abutment: 3, penetration: 1]). The retrieval outcomes were not significantly different before and after propensity score adjustment in both filters.

conclusionThe Denali IVC filter showed less tilt and low rate of filter tip abutment to the IVC wall after propensity score-matching analysis. The retrieval rate was not significantly different in the short-term filter indwelling setting. More large-scale, long-term follow-up studies are needed to verify these results.
