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
backgroundThis study aims to evaluate and compare the outcomes and clinical efficacy of pharmacomechanical thrombectomy (PMCT) plus catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) and PMCT combined with CDT and venous stenting in managing acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT), while also assessing the long-term safety and efficacy of these interventions.
methodsA retrospective case-control study spanning 3 years involved 112 patients presenting with acute symptomatic iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT), each with a symptom duration of less than 14 days. Patients were consecutively categorized into two groups based on individual clinical indications: PMCT + CDT vs. PMCT + CDT + venous stent. Statistical analyses were conducted to compare clinical features and outcomes between the two groups. Additionally, patients were followed up for 24 months post-treatment, during which quality of life (QoL) and severity of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) were analyzed.
resultsIn this retrospective study, we analyzed a total of 112 consecutive patients, with 63 patients undergoing PMCT + CDT and 49 patients undergoing PMCT + CDT + venous stent. Between the two groups, regarding primary outcomes at 6 months, there was no difference in the observed cumulative patency rates, standing at 82.5% for PMCT + CDT and 81.6% for PMCT + CDT + stent. Survival analyses for primary, primary-assisted, and secondary patency yielded comparable results for PMCT + CDT, with
conclusionsPharmacomechanical thrombectomy (PMCT) combined with catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) therapy has shown significant efficacy in alleviating leg symptoms and reducing the occurrence of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS), including the incidence of moderate-to-severe PTS. On the other hand, the utilization of PMCT + CDT + stent therapy, tailored to individual patients' clinical and venous conditions, may enhance long-term venous patency and lead to superior outcomes, including improved quality of life parameters.
