Acute pulmonary embolism with inferior vena caval thrombus following radiofrequency ablation of the great saphenous vein despite early ultrasound surveillance.
Article in Journal of vascular surgery cases and innovative techniques, 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
The reported incidence of pulmonary embolism in the published literature after radiofrequency ablation of the great saphenous vein is exceedingly rare. Recent societal clinical practice guidelines recommend against routine postprocedural ultrasound screening for ablation-related thrombus extension in asymptomatic average-risk patients. However, screening is recommended for asymptomatic high-risk patients. We present the case of a 69-year-old woman with multiple risk factors for the development of venous thromboembolism who developed bilateral pulmonary emboli despite early postprocedural ultrasound screening. As highlighted in this paper, surveillance ultrasound cannot be solely relied upon to detect and prevent pulmonary embolus after great saphenous vein radiofrequency ablation.
