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

Temporary placement of inferior vena cava (IVC) filters for pulmonary embolism prevention is indicated for patients with contraindications to or unsuccessful anticoagulation therapy. However, timely IVC filter removal is necessary to avoid common complications, including filter strut penetration through the IVC wall into surrounding organs and structures. This report and describes IVC filter removal in a patient with symptomatic strut erosion into the L4 vertebral body and abutment of the proximal right common iliac artery, which was performed 12 years after placement. After filter retrieval, the patient's symptoms resolved, and he remains stable on anticoagulation therapy.
