Use of the Protrieve sheath to trap embolizing thrombus during a complex mechanical thrombectomy procedure with a thrombosed inferior vena cava filter.

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
Removal of thrombosed inferior vena cava (IVC) filters can be complicated by the risk of thrombus embolization. A 67-year-old patient presented for temporary IVC filter retrieval with complaints of worsening lower extremity swelling. Diagnostic imaging identified significant filter thrombosis and bilateral lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT). In the present case, the novel Protrieve sheath was used to successfully remove the IVC filter and thrombus, with an estimated blood loss of 100 mL. The intraprocedurally generated embolus was trapped and removed without complication. This approach could mitigate embolization risks when removing thrombosed IVC filters or complex DVT.
