Mechanical Venous Thrombectomy Using Indigo Aspiration System: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We present a case of successful endovascular thrombectomy of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis utilizing Penumbra's Indigo Aspiration System (Penumbra Inc., Place Alameda, CA), a minimally invasive system with a large-lumen (Indigo System CAT7, 7F) catheter predominantly used for the removal of thromboembolism involving the peripheral arterial and venous systems. A 30-year-old female presented with a seizure and focal neurological deficits and was found to have a left posterior temporal lobe hemorrhagic infarct secondary to an extensive cerebral venous sinus thrombosis extending from the left transverse sinus to the ipsilateral internal jugular bulb. We considered the combination of seizure, motor deficit, and hemorrhagic infarct high-risk features for poor response to standard medical therapy with therapeutic anticoagulation. Therefore, we performed a mechanical venous thrombectomy with the above device in addition to anticoagulation treatment with heparin infusion. This combination therapy resulted in a technically successful radiographic recanalization of the involved sinuses and an excellent functional outcome at follow-up. This case demonstrates that this trackable, atraumatic, large-bore system was safe and efficacious in the cerebral venous system, permitting near-complete thrombus removal.
