Lethal hemorrhage from iliac vein rupture complicating inferior vena cava thrombosis demonstrated by post-mortem CT angiography.
Article in Forensic science, medicine, and pathology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 iliac vein rupture is a rare cause of retroperitoneal hemorrhage that may present to the forensic pathologist. It has been reported in association with venous thrombosis, anatomical variants such as May-Thurner syndrome, and as a complication of a long-term indwelling IVC filter. It has a female predominance and most often occurs due to rupture of the left iliac vein. This is the first report of the use of post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) and post-mortem computed tomography angiography (PMCTA) as an adjunct to a conventional autopsy to diagnose rupture of the left iliac vein causing retroperitoneal hemorrhage arising as a complication of an inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombus. We discuss the use of PMCTA as a useful tool in the diagnosis of vascular injury and how it can be used to assist the forensic pathologist. The use of PMCT with PMCTA is an invaluable adjunct to conventional autopsy to diagnose the site of vascular rupture.
