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

Absorbable inferior vena cava filters (IVCFs) offer a promising alternative to metallic retrievable filters in providing protection against pulmonary embolism (PE) for patients contraindicated for anticoagulant therapy. However, because absorbable filters are not radiopaque, monitoring of the filter using conventional X-ray imaging modalities (e.g. plain film radiographs, computed tomography [CT] and fluoroscopy) during deployment and follow-up is not possible and represents a potential obstacle to widespread clinical integration of the device. Here, we demonstrate that gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) infused into biodegradable filters made up of poly-p-dioxanone (PPDO) may improve device radiopacity without untoward effects on device efficacy and safety, as assessed in swine models for 12 weeks. The absorbable AuNP-infused filters demonstrated significantly improved visualization using CT without affecting tensile strength, in vitro degradation, in vivo resorption, or thrombus-capturing efficacy, as compared to similar non-AuNPs infused resorbable IVCFs. This study presents a significant advancement to the development of imaging enhancers for absorbable IVCFs.
