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

Acute superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) is a clinical condition caused by obstruction of blood flow through the SVC, leading to facial swelling, dyspnea, and upper extremity edema. To date, no established guidelines exist regarding optimal device selection for thrombectomy in acute SVCS, and endovascular management with mechanical thrombectomy remains underreported in the literature. We discuss two similarly presenting cases of acute SVCS managed with different large-bore thrombectomy platforms-AngioDynamics AlphaVac and Inari FlowTriever-to highlight the need for case-specific device selection and to compare clinical outcomes.
