1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

May-Thurner syndrome or left iliac vein compression occurs when the left common iliac vein is compressed by the right common iliac artery, leading to venous outflow obstruction. This obstruction can cause venous hypertension, resulting in lower extremity swelling, discoloration, pelvic congestion, and venous ulcerations. The standard surgical treatment of May-Thurner syndrome is endovascular venous stent placement. In a small, single-center sample, surgical anteriorization of the left common iliac vein was used to treat symptomatic left common iliac vein compression in younger patients, alleviating their symptoms, and can be considered an alternative treatment.
