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

An 82-year-old woman presented with persistent left leg swelling despite 3 months anticoagulation for deep vein thrombosis. Ultrasound showed venous blood flowing back into the toe. Enhanced computed tomography scans and angiography showed occlusion of the left common iliac vein and a large number of arteriovenous fistulas. We made a diagnosis of May-Thurner syndrome coexisting with arteriovenous fistulas and we performed endovascular therapy only for the common iliac vein. We considered embolization for arteriovenous fistulas, but it seemed to be difficult to perform because of the possibility of development of collateral circulation and a large number of arteriovenous fistulas. After percutaneous balloon angioplasty, antegrade venous blood flow was restored, and stent implantation was not performed. After the procedure, swelling of the leg gradually reduced. She had no symptoms for the following 1 year.
