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

The optimal management strategy of nutcracker syndrome is debated, especially in the setting of concurrent pelvic congestion syndrome. In this article, we describe our treatment algorithm as illustrated by four different case scenarios. In our experience, renocaval pressure gradients are often inconclusive, but evaluation of the left renal vein waveform as well as a "test PTA" with evidence of a waist in the balloon can be helpful in unmasking a relevant stenosis. We consider nutcracker syndrome not to be a contraindication for ovarian vein embolization. Decision for simultaneous or sequential stenting should be based on angiographic findings and clinical course.
