May-Thurner Syndrome, a Frequently Overlooked Cause of Iliofemoral Vein Thrombosis.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) involves the compression of the left iliofemoral vein by the right common iliac artery against the vertebral body, creating an environment conducive to venous stasis and endothelial injury, which predisposes patients to deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Although often asymptomatic, MTS can present with lower extremity swelling and claudication. We present a case of a 72-year-old female who developed extensive left lower extremity DVT. Imaging studies, including Doppler ultrasound and venography, confirmed the diagnosis of MTS with significant vessel occlusion. Treatment involved mechanical thrombectomy, angioplasty, and iliac vein stenting. The patient demonstrated rapid symptom resolution post-procedure and was discharged on anticoagulation therapy. This case underscores the importance of recognizing anatomical factors like MTS in patients with DVT and highlights the role of interventional management in preventing complications.
