May-Thurner Syndrome Is Aggravated by Pregnancy.
Article in Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This study aims to emphasize that asymptomatic patients with undiagnosed and asymptomatic May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) may firstly develop severe compression during pregnancy. A 40-year-old woman, G1P0, at 22 weeks of twin gestation presented with left lower extremity edema and pain. One twin was structurally normal while the other had bilateral renal agenesis with oligohydramnios. Magnetic resonance venography (MRV) revealed severe compression of the left iliac vein by the right iliac artery without evidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Conservative treatment with anticoagulant prophylaxis was instituted throughout the rest of pregnancy and postpartum period. She was also complicated with severe pre-eclampsia, a cesarean section was performed due to a prolapsed cord at 27 weeks of gestation, and she gave birth to a surviving baby weighing 1100 g. In conclusion, this case report provides evidence that pregnancy can disclose a subtle May-Thurner anatomy to be symptomatic without DVT. Successful pregnancy outcomes could be achieved with conservative treatment and anticoagulant prophylaxis.
