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

backgroundDeep vein thrombosis with arteriovenous fistulas is rare, with few therapeutic options available for chronic-phase deep vein thrombosis. Moreover, the effectiveness of endovascular treatment for chronic-phase deep vein thrombosis with arteriovenous fistulas has not been established. We describe herein a case of successful endovascular treatment for chronic deep vein thrombosis with multiple arteriovenous fistulas. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe the case of a 72-year-old Asian woman who had begun experiencing left leg swelling and intermittent claudication 2 years prior. Enhanced computed tomography revealed left common iliac vein occlusion with vein-to-vein collateral formation and several arteriovenous fistulas. Angiography and ultrasound showed the arteriovenous fistulas to run from the common and internal iliac arteries to the external iliac and superficial femoral veins. We opted against surgical repair for the arteriovenous fistulas due to their complex nature and complicated morphology. Since her condition was progressive, endovascular treatment with a stent graft was performed for the deep vein thrombosis, after which her symptoms gradually improved. Four months following the procedure, enhanced computed tomography confirmed remarkable reduction of the vein-to-vein collaterals and arteriovenous fistulas.

conclusionsIn the present case, enhanced computed tomography with a stent graft was effective in improving symptoms. This strategy may therefore be a treatment option for intractable chronic deep vein thrombosis with arteriovenous fistulas.
