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

One of the rare sequelae of large pelvic masses is direct compression of the inferior vena cava with formation of a deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Although uncommon, multiple cases of thrombosis secondary to pelvic mass compression of the venous system have been reported in the literature. However, our patient showed a disproportionate degree of thrombus and subsequent postthrombotic stricture/stenosis limited to the left iliofemoral system, sparing the right side. These findings make it exceedingly likely that she had some degree of pre-existing May-Thurner syndrome. The superimposed nature of these 2 rare causes of DVT make this presentation remarkably unique. Our case illustrates the advances in endovascular techniques and their application toward DVT treatment for even the most complicated and unique cases.
