Endovascular Treatment for Upper Body Central Venous Obstruction.
Article in Interventional radiology (Higashimatsuyama-shi (Japan), 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
Endovascular treatment, such as catheter-directed thrombolysis, thrombectomy, balloon angioplasty, and metallic stent placement, is performed for symptomatic upper body central venous obstruction caused by both malignant and benign etiologies. In particular, metallic stent placement should be performed in emergent situations for malignant superior vena cava syndrome presenting with cerebral or laryngeal edema. In malignant cases, the obstruction is usually traversed via the femoral vein. When it fails, an additional trial via the brachial or internal jugular vein is performed, and if necessary, through-and-through access is established. In benign chronic obstructions that cannot be crossed by conventional techniques, sharp recanalization techniques are salvage options. The procedures are relatively safe; however, major complications such as acute pulmonary edema, cardiac tamponade, pulmonary embolism, and stent migration should be warned.
