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

Spontaneous rupture of the iliac veins is a distinctly uncommon problem often misdiagnosed as an arterial rupture because of significant retroperitoneal bleeding. It often occurs with acute left-sided deep vein thrombosis and physical activities that exacerbate acute venous hypertension. A significant number of these patients will have anatomy associated with May-Thurner syndrome. Delayed imaging on computed tomography scanning might suggest a venous etiology for a retroperitoneal hematoma rather than arterial bleeding. We found 53 previously reported cases of iliac vein rupture Our report details two additional cases and the treatment options and outcomes.
