Safety and Efficacy of Aspiration Thrombectomy or Pharmacomechanical Thrombectomy after Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis for the Treatment of Acute Iliofemoral Deep Vein Thrombosis.
Article in Vascular specialist international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of additional aspiration thrombectomy (AT) or pharmacomechanical thrombectomy (PMT) after catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) for the treatment of acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (AIFDVT). MATERIALS AND
methodsBetween May 2017 and December 2018, 40 patients with AIFDVT were enrolled. Twenty underwent AT after CDT (CDTAT), while the remaining 20 underwent PMT using an AngioJet
resultsSuccessful thrombus clearance was achieved in 95% of the patients in both groups. Significant decreases in the thrombolytic therapy duration (P=0.018) and urokinase dose (P=0.014) were noted in the CDTPMT group. Major complications were not noted in both groups. Residual filter thrombi >10 mm were found in 6 filters in the CDTAT group and in 1 filter in the CDTPMT group (P=0.038). The Villalta scores at 6 months were 1.47±1.24 and 1.12±0.92 in the CDTAT and CDTPMT groups, respectively (P=0.372).
conclusionBoth methods may be safe and effective management options for patients with AIFDVT. CDTPMT can reduce urokinase dosage, time and remained filter thrombus compared to CDTAT. Studies conducted in the future should compare the effects of overnight CDT followed by PMT with those of single-session PMT on patients with AIFDVT.
