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

Anterior nutcracker syndrome (ANCS) and May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) are part of a rare group of vascular compression syndromes where extrinsic compression of arteries or veins results in non-specific clinical presentation posing diagnostic and management challenges. We present the case of a female patient in her early 40s with a 3 year history of left flank and pelvic pain, left leg swelling and microscopic haematuria attributed to a rare combination of ANCS and MTS. Compression of the left common iliac vein (MTS) was managed with left common iliac stenting and compression of the left renal vein (LRV; ANCS) was managed surgically with a novel modified technique of LRV transposition using an autologous gonadal vein graft with subsequent resolution of all symptoms. To our knowledge, this is the fourth case presenting the coexistence of the two syndromes in the literature and the first presenting the modified treatment approach.
