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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to report a technique for intraprocedural guidance of endovascular iliac vein stenting procedures using three-dimensional (3D) venography images as an overlay on live biplanar fluoroscopy.
methodsUsing 3D venography and a fusion navigation technique, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stent placement were performed to evaluate the feasibility of using 3D venography images and the fusion navigation technique to treat MTS compared with traditional digital subtraction angiography. The general epidemiologic data (ie, age, gender), clinical manifestations (ie, major symptoms, affected extremity, CEAP [clinical, etiology, anatomy, pathophysiology] classification, comorbidity, stenosis rate), intraoperative findings (ie, stent type, stent count, stent to inferior vena cava distance, procedure time, radiation dose, contrast agent dosage), and postoperative recovery were obtained and analyzed.
resultsA total of 30 consecutive patients with symptomatic MTS from our institution were enrolled in the present study. Of the 30 patients, 12 (group A) were treated using 3D venography images and fusion navigation and 18 (group B) were treated with two-dimensional venography images during endovascular management. Significant differences were observed between the two groups with respect to the procedure time (64.42 ± 4.35 minutes vs 76.61 ± 3.47 minutes; P = .04), radiation dose (2152 ± 124.7 mGy vs 2561 ± 105.6 mGy; P = .02), and contrast agent dosage (71.42 ± 4.87 mL vs 86.17 ± 4.14 mL; P = .03).
conclusions3D venography and its fusion navigation technique can improve prediction of the coverage area of the stent. Its use can also shorten the procedure time and reduce the contrast agent dose and radiation exposure, making it a valuable tool for both the diagnosis and the treatment of symptomatic MTS.
