Delayed Arterial Hemorrhage From a Lumbar Artery Following Inferior Vena Cava Filter Placement: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a feared complication of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) that can lead to respiratory distress and even death. The mainstay of preventing PE is anticoagulation, but other strategies exist. Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters are an alternative strategy for PE prophylaxis in individuals who may have contraindications to receiving anticoagulation. Although the placement of an IVC filter is a minimally invasive and typically uncomplicated procedure, all procedures have their risks. We present a case of a 35-year-old woman who experienced a rare complication of IVC filter placement and suffered a retroperitoneal hemorrhage. The patient underwent placement of an IVC filter for PE prophylaxis before a scheduled sleeve gastrectomy. Hours after placement, she returned with new symptoms and signs of blood loss. She was found to have a retroperitoneal hematoma due to bleeding from a lumbar artery that was penetrated by a strut of the filter. Arterial hemorrhage from a lumbar artery is a rare complication of IVC filter placement, and it can result in poor outcomes for the patient. We aim to increase awareness of this rare but dangerous complication to improve recognition and patient outcomes in cases of delayed arterial hemorrhage following IVC filter placement.
