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

Chronic iliofemoral DVT often contains wall-adherent thrombus poorly responsive to lysis. We report lytic-free thrombectomy using VenaCore. A 45-year-old man with acute-on-chronic right iliofemoral DVT (CEAP C4, VCSS 13) underwent popliteal access, VenaCore plus ClotTriever extraction, balloon angioplasty, IVUS-guided sizing, and selective stenting; simultaneous contrast via a coaxial 4 Fr sheath enhanced capture. Completion venography/IVUS showed restored inline flow with < 30% residual stenosis. He was discharged on day 3; at 1-month, duplex confirmed patency and VCSS improved to 7. VenaCore-assisted thrombectomy with IVUS-guided selective stenting appears feasible and effective for organized venous obstruction.
