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 clinical condition characterized by the compression of the left common iliac vein between the overlying right common iliac artery and the underlying lumbar vertebrae. Although MTS can lead to deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and, in some cases, pulmonary embolism (PE), it remains underrecognized in clinical practice. We present a case of PE and DVT associated with MTS in a 20-year-old woman with a prolonged history of taking oral contraceptives (OCs). Initial computed tomography angiography (CTA) raised suspicion of MTS, which was further confirmed by Duplex ultrasonography. Anticoagulation therapy, along with discontinuation of OCs, resulted in resolution of thrombi in both the pulmonary and deep venous systems, with no recurrence following cessation of anticoagulation. This case underscores the importance of combining multiple imaging modalities in the evaluation of young women presenting with left-sided DVT, which eventually led to the diagnosis and proper management of MTS.
