Endovascular Thrombectomy for Acute Iliofemoral Deep Venous Thrombosis Through a Jugular Approach with a Rotational Device.
Article in Cardiovascular and interventional radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeTo report the effectiveness of pharmacomechanical catheter-directed thrombolysis (PCDT) in the management of acute iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis (DVT) via the jugular vein using a slow rotation and large-tip device (SRD) in a large cohort of patients. MATERIAL AND
methodsFrom 2011 to 2021, 277 patients (mean age 45 years, 59.2% women) were treated in 6 centres with PCDT for ilio-fémoral DVT. PCDT was performed via the jugular vein and consisted of one session of fragmentation-fibrinolysis, aspiration and, if needed, angioplasty with stenting. The aim of PCDT was to achieve complete clearance of the venous thrombosis and to restore iliofemoral patency. Residual thrombotic load was assessed by angiography, venous patency by duplex ultrasound and clinical effectiveness by the rate of post-thrombotic syndrome (Villalta score > 4).
resultsAll patients were treated via the jugular vein using an SRD, and all but one were treated with fibrinolysis. Angioplasty with stenting was performed in 84.1% of patients. After the procedure, the residual thrombotic load at the ilio-fémoral region was < 10% in 96.1% of patients. The rate of major complications was 1.8% (n = 5), the rate of minor complications was 4% (n = 11), and one patient died from pulmonary embolism (0.4%) At a median follow-up of 24 months, primary and secondary iliofemoral patency was 89.6% and 95.8%, respectively. The rate of PTS was 13.8% at 12 months.
conclusionPCDT via the jugular vein using an SRD is an efficient treatment for acute iliofemoral DVT and results in high long-term venous patency and low PTS rates. Level of evidence Level 4, Case series.
