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

An 80-year-old female patient presented with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism with underlying etiology called May-Thurner syndrome-a contralateral right common iliac artery compressing the left common iliac vein against the lumbar vertebra and causing a cascade of endothelial changes, stenosis, and thrombi formation. It is common among young women with deep vein thrombosis or chronic venous insufficiency symptoms over their left leg. Diagnosis is confirmed by intravascular ultrasound examination. This patient was successfully treated through a multidisciplinary team approach, which included percutaneous mechanical embolectomy, inferior vena cava filter, stenting of the left common iliac vein, and systemic anticoagulation.
