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

This case report describes a 56-year-old female who presented to the emergency department with diffuse facial and bilateral upper extremity swelling. The patient has a past medical history of Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome secondary to a clot around her port-a-cath, adenocarcinoma of the lungs status post chemotherapy and radiation, hyperlipidemia, rheumatoid arthritis, diverticulitis status post colon resection, and hypothyroidism. Imaging confirmed the presence of a thrombus obstructing the SVC, likely due to her hypercoagulable state. This case report details the successful removal of a thrombus using the FlowTriever device by INARI in a patient with SVC syndrome. Although indicated for treatment of PE, FlowTriever has shown success in other conditions and nearly eliminates the risk of bleeding without the need for administering thrombolytics, as explained below in the setting of SVC syndrome.
