An Unusual Case of May-Thurner Syndrome in a Middle-Aged IV Drug Abuser.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 an extrinsic venous compression of the iliocaval venous territory by the arterial system. MTS is common in middle-aged women. Despite its importance, it is uncommonly considered in the differential diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), especially in males with other risk factors. Due to the perianal abscess, a 35-year-old male health care worker was abusing IV opioids through his left leg veins. His symptoms included signs and symptoms of cellulitis around the catheter site, followed by recurrent DVTs due to poor response to anticoagulation therapy alone. A comprehensive workup revealed the diagnosis of MTS. The patient eventually required endovenous treatment with stent placement, after which his condition improved dramatically.
