Cavo-Atrial Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Restoration With Polytetrafluoroethylene Graft: Overcoming Lethal Injuries.
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
Injuries to the inferior vena cava (IVC) carry high risks and mortality rates. We present a case of suprahepatic IVC injury that was successfully treated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft insertion without cardiopulmonary bypass. A 46-year-old woman was transferred to our trauma centre after a high-speed motor vehicle collision. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a suprahepatic IVC injury with an expanding hematoma within the diaphragmatic muscle. Via a thoracoabdominal approach, total vascular occlusion allowed evacuating the hematoma under control to allow IVC injury assessment. A large defect in the suprahepatic IVC was noted with a near-complete transection at the level of the hepatocaval confluence. A PTFE graft was successfully inserted restoring continuity between the right atrium and hepatic veins. The patient recovered and remains well two years post-trauma. Injuries to the IVC are uncommon and often fatal. Effective coordination between specialties can facilitate positive outcomes even in the most complex clinical scenarios. IVC injuries may be survivable when managed at high-volume expert centres with intensive care, anaesthesia, and surgical expertise.
