Laser-assisted permanent greenfield filter removal with ileocaval stent reconstruction following filter thrombosis, a case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 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
Emerging literature supports removal of chronic indwelling IVC filters when they are contributing to complications for a patient and are no longer indicated. We present an interesting case of an elderly patient who had a history of DVT and underwent spinal surgery, which required cessation of his anticoagulation and placement of an IVC filter pre-operatively. Approximately 15 years later the patient presented to our institution with chronic occlusion of his IVC at the level of his filter which had never been removed, with bilateral lower extremity DVT and symptoms of phlegmasia cerulea dolens. Despite a previous unsuccessful attempt at DVT thrombectomy at an outside institution, interventional radiology was consulted, and he subsequently underwent successful laser sheath assisted removal of his 15-year-old permanent Greenfield filter with bilateral lower extremity DVT thrombectomy and venous stenting with significant improvement in his presenting symptoms. Clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, case findings, and outcomes are described.
