May-Thurner Syndrome: A Forgotten Cause of Deep Vein Thrombosis.
Article in The International journal of angiology : official publication of the International College of Angiology, Inc, 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) is a relatively rare vascular condition that is characterized by external compression of the left common iliac vein by the right common iliac artery against the fifth lumbar vertebra. This condition slows the blood flow and is a predisposing factor for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The key to its successful treatment is to remove the clot and fix the anatomical lesion. If this MTS diagnosis is missed, the recurrence of thrombosis will lead to significant morbidity and mortality. We report a case of 70-year-old female who had left leg DVT caused by MTS and was treated with catheter-directed thrombolysis along with long-term anticoagulation.
