Case review and imaging: Treatment of central venous catheter associated fibrin sheath and chronic thrombus with the ClotTriever system.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Fibrin sheath formation is a leading culprit of central venous catheter malfunction. The complete removal of fibrin sheaths is an essential component of maintaining catheter patency, preventing future restenosis, and decreasing the risk of bloodborne infections. Treatment of fibrin sheaths includes pharmacologic therapy, balloon angioplasty, catheter exchange, and mechanical stripping. In this article 3 cases are reviewed, 2 patients had long-term hemodialysis catheter malfunction and 1 had complications related to a chest port. On imaging, superior vena cava stenosis, occlusion, and/or filling defect were identified for all patients, as well as findings suggesting the presence of fibrin sheath. Description of these cases detail a new technique for fibrin sheath removal utilizing the ClotTriever System (Inari Medical, Irvine, CA), which is a mechanical thrombectomy device used for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis. This technique allowed for complete removal of the fibrin sheath via a minimally invasive interventional procedure which did not require access through the central venous catheter lumen.
