Single-Session Treatment of Upper Extremity Deep Venous Thrombosis and Central Venous Catheter Malfunction Using the ClotTriever System.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Intravenous catheters account for the majority of cases of upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (UEDVT), with a higher incidence in patients suffering from malignancy. Sequelae of UEDVT are similar to that of lower extremity DVT, comprising post-thrombotic syndrome and pulmonary embolism. While there are several treatment options for UEDVT including systemic anticoagulation, catheter-directed thrombolysis, and percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy, due to the absence of consistent guidelines regarding its management, treatment is often individualized based on patient characteristics, clinical factors, and technical considerations. We present a case of a 49-year-old female suffering from breast cancer with a central venous catheter (CVC) who came to the clinic with UEDVT and CVC malfunction and was successfully treated with mechanical thrombectomy using the ClotTriever System (Inari Medical, Irvine, CA). To our knowledge, this is the first report of the ClotTriever System being used to treat UEDVT and simultaneously salvage the CVC in a single session.
