Ultrasound-Accelerated Thrombolysis and Venoplasty for the Treatment of the Postthrombotic Syndrome: Results of the ACCESS PTS Study.
Trial report in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06198816 (Inflow Improve for Deep Vein ThrombOsis with Ultrasound AcceLerated ThrombOlysis and Venoplasty), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Background Postthrombotic syndrome is a common complication of deep vein thrombosis, with limited treatment options. Methods and Results ACCESS PTS (Accelerated Thrombolysis for Post-Thrombotic Syndrome Using the Acoustic Pulse Thrombolysis Ekosonic Endovascular System) is a multicenter, single-arm, prospective study evaluating patients with chronic deep vein thrombosis and postthrombotic syndrome (Villalta score ≥8) who received minimum 3 months of anticoagulation. Patients underwent percutaneous transluminal venoplasty and ultrasound-accelerated thrombolysis, with data collected on clinical characteristics, postthrombotic syndrome, imaging, and quality of life to 1 year. The primary efficacy outcome was a reduction of ≥4 points in the Villalta score 30 days after procedure. The primary safety outcomes were major bleeding episodes within 72 hours and symptomatic pulmonary embolism during the index hospitalization. A total of 82 limbs (78 patients) were treated (age, 54.6±12.7 years; 32.1% women; mean Villalta score, 15.5±5.2). The primary end point was met in 64.6% (51/79). At 1 year, 77.3% (51/66) of limbs continued with a Villalta reduction ≥4. At 365 days, >90% of segments had patency with ultrasound flow present. Baseline to 1-year Physical Component Summary mean score of the Short Form-36 increased from 38.9±9.5 to 45.2±9.8 (
