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

Horseshoe kidney (HSK) is a rare disorder and may be associated with several vascular complications. A 46-year-old female patient with a pelvic HSK suffered a deep vein thrombosis of the left popliteal, femoral, and iliac veins. Lysis therapy, followed by balloon angioplasty and stent implantation in the iliac vein, was performed, significantly improving the patient's symptoms. Endovascular therapies such as lysis therapy and stent implantation may result in excellent therapeutic outcomes for deep vein thrombosis caused by an HSK, sparing the patient extensive surgical procedures on the venous system and, at the same time, reducing the risk of a post-thrombotic syndrome.
