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 (MTS) involves the chronic compression of the left common iliac vein (CIV) by the overlying right common iliac artery (CIA) against the lumbar vertebrae. This compression can result in signs and symptoms of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) affecting the left side. In this case report, we present the clinical details of a 19-year-old patient diagnosed with severe MTS, which manifested as DVT with symptoms of severe thigh pain, redness, and difficulty walking. Additionally, the patient experienced pleuritic chest pain, ultimately diagnosed as pulmonary embolism (PE). Her management involved surgical removal of the thrombus and endovascular stenting of the left CIV. Following her recovery, she progressed favorably, and her follow-up assessment yielded satisfactory results.
