Comparison of clinical outcomes among patients with isolated axial vs muscular calf vein thrombosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of vascular surgery. Venous and lymphatic disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveThrombi in the axial calf veins have quite different anatomical and physiological characteristics from that in the muscular calf veins, but their treatment was usually addressed in the same manner. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized and cohort studies to compare clinical outcomes among patients with isolated axial vs muscular calf deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
methodsRecurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) was selected as the primary outcome. Resolution, proximal propagation of calf DVT, pulmonary embolism (PE), major bleeds, and clinically relevant non-major bleeds were separately analyzed as secondary outcomes. Data were pooled and compared with risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).
resultsThirteen studies, consisting of 4889 patients, met the inclusion criteria and were included for analysis. A greater rate of recurrent VTE (FE model: RR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.00-1.53; I
conclusionsPatients with calf DVT limited to muscular veins might have a lower rate of recurrent VTE, resolution, proximal propagation, and PE vs those with axial calf vein involvement and exhibited similar safety outcomes.
