1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 caused by left common iliac vein compression, resulting in deep vein thrombosis (DVT). MTS is usually asymptomatic until DVT occurs. Our case features a 37-year-old woman who presented with swelling and pain in her left leg after recent travel and oral contraceptive use. Venous duplex ultrasound confirmed DVT and CT angiogram excluded pulmonary embolism. She received Heparin anticoagulation and underwent mechanical thrombectomy and stenting. Her symptoms improved within two days, and she was discharged on Apixaban and Plavix. This case involves a unique patient presentation of MTS, involving young woman with unexplained left-sided DVT, a scenario typically seen in older patients with clotting disorders.
