May-Thurner Syndrome and Malignancy-Associated Deep Venous Thrombosis: A Case of Successful Treatment with Endovascular Therapy.
Article in Vascular specialist international, 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
In May-Thurner syndrome (MTS), the left iliac vein is compressed by the right iliac artery, leading to restricted blood flow from the leg to the heart. MTS commonly manifests in young females; however, its occurrence in older adults necessitates verifying the possibility of malignancy. A 77-year-old female experienced leg swelling and discomfort for 1 week. Computed tomography angiography suggested extensive thrombosis in the left iliac vein. Despite heparin treatment, the thrombus persisted and required mechanical thrombectomy, balloon venoplasty, and stent placement for tight iliac vein stenosis. The procedure was successful; however a biopsy of thrombus revealed malignant cells. An underlying malignancy and a hypercoagulable state were identified as the contributing factors after further evaluations. This case underscores the importance for vigilant diagnosis of hypercoagulable conditions and malignancies in MTS, emphasizing the role of malignancy in the development of DVT and MTS.
