Ultrasound Guided Needle Penetration Technique for Recanalisation of Short Segment Chronic Femoral Vein Occlusion.
Article in EJVES vascular forum, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: This case report presents an ultrasound guided needle penetration technique as a novel method for the recanalisation of short segment chronic femoral vein occlusion in a patient with a history of intravenous drug use. Case report: A 41 year old male presented with a painful calf ulcer. Initial ultrasound imaging identified a chronic short segment occlusion in the proximal femoral vein, with extensive scarring from repeated intravenous drug injections. Traditional endovascular approaches were unsuccessful due to dense tissue scarring. The ultrasound guided needle penetration technique was employed to perforate the occlusion, achieving successful wire passage and subsequent stent placement. The patient experienced significant symptomatic relief after the procedure. Conclusion: This case highlights the feasibility and benefits of ultrasound guided needle penetration as an alternative recanalisation approach in severe scarring peripheral chronic venous occlusion.
