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

Patients with upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (UEDVT) generally present with similar symptoms including arm swelling, erythema, heaviness, or pain. However, this condition is caused by different factors which can influence management decisions. As a result, UEDVT is categorized by primary or secondary etiology. Primary UEDVT is most commonly a result of anatomical subclavian vein compression, whereas secondary UEDVT is most frequently associated with indwelling catheters. Regardless of etiology, anticoagulation therapy is recommended, and interventional treatment is reserved for more severe cases. This series includes outcome data for 8 heterogenous patients treated for UEDVT with mechanical thrombectomy using the ClotTriever System by an interventional radiologist in a single healthcare system. Herein we present procedural imaging for select cases and discuss treatment characteristics and outcomes based on etiology.
