Review in Cardiovascular diagnosis and therapy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 51 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
May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is a venous compression syndrome in which the left common iliac vein (LCIV) is compressed between the lower lumbar spine and the right common iliac artery (RCIA). Variations are known where in the right lower limb can be affected. While most of the cases are asymptomatic, it can cause severe morbidity in symptomatic individuals, most commonly deep vein thrombosis and post thrombotic sequelae. In this article, we review the key clinical features, multimodality imaging findings and treatment options of this disorder. Our goal is to raise awareness of this under-diagnosed condition among clinicians in order to promote early detection and recognition to enhance positive and expedited outcomes.
