Spontaneous iliac vein rupture in the setting of a long dwelling intravenous vena cava filter.
Article in Forensic science, medicine, and pathology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Venous thromboembolism impacts as many as 600,000 individuals each year in the United States, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. While typically treated with anticoagulants, retrievable inferior vena cava (IVC) filters may also be used for acute prevention of pulmonary embolism. The FDA recommends removing IVC filters within 29-54 days because long dwelling filters are associated with serious complications from the filter itself, such as perforation of adjacent structures and filter fracture. We report an unusual case in which a patient had an inferior venous cava filter in place for two years before experiencing spontaneous rupture of the left iliac vein. There was no evidence of filter migration or inferior venous cava perforation. Spontaneous iliac vein ruptures are rare, with fewer than 50 reported cases, and are not typically seen with a long-dwelling IVC. This case describes a unique complication of retrievable filters and highlights the importance of retrieving filters as soon as the acute danger of pulmonary embolism has resolved.
