Surgical Removal of an Inferior Vena Cava Filter Discovered in Duodenum During Endoscopy: A Case Report.
Article in Vascular specialist international, 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
An inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) is a medical device inserted into the inferior vena cava (IVC) to prevent pulmonary embolism by capturing blood clots before they reach the pulmonary arteries. However, long-lasting IVCFs can be complicated by penetration into adjacent organs. A 68-year-old man was found to have an IVCF strut in the duodenum during a routine gastroduodenoscopy. He had undergone prophylactic IVCF placement 10 years earlier following a severe car accident. Open surgical removal of the IVCF was performed via a midline incision. Some struts were embedded in the posterior wall of the IVC by fibrous tissue, while others had penetrated the IVC wall, including one strut embedded in the duodenum. After the removal of each strut individually, the duodenal connection was sutured. No postoperative complications were observed. This case highlights the late complications of a retained IVCF and the need for a filter registry and early removal.
