Successful Treatment of an Extensive Deep Vein Thrombosis in the Lower Left Extremity Through Thrombectomy and Endovascular Stenting: Role of May-Thurner Syndrome in Differential Diagnoses.
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) is a vascular condition caused by extrinsic compression of the left common iliac vein by the right common iliac artery, predisposing patients to deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Though often asymptomatic, MTS can present with unilateral leg swelling and pain, particularly in young women without traditional risk factors. We present the case of a 45-year-old woman who developed acute left lower extremity DVT without prior medical history or provoking factors. Imaging confirmed extensive thrombosis and revealed complete iliac vein compression consistent with MTS. The patient underwent successful mechanical thrombectomy, stenting, and balloon angioplasty, followed by long-term anticoagulation. Two years post-intervention, she exhibited chronic venous changes but no recurrent DVT. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and endovascular management in symptomatic MTS to optimize outcomes and reduce long-term complications.
