Optimizing catheter-directed thrombolysis access and predicting post-thrombotic syndrome in acute entire-limb DVT: a retrospective cohort study and nomogram development.

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.
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
Background: Selecting the optimal catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) access for acute entire-limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) remains controversial. This study aimed to compare the technical and clinical outcomes of three CDT access approaches and to develop a prognostic nomogram for predicting post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) based on hemodynamic and procedural variables. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 172 patients with acute entire-limb DVT who underwent CDT via contralateral femoral vein access (CFVA, Results: Although CFVA afforded the shortest sheath insertion time (1.74 ± 1.02 min), it required significantly longer access establishment (17.07 ± 6.81 min) than IPVA and ICVA ( Conclusion: For acute entire-limb DVT, antegrade CDT access optimizes early femoropopliteal thrombus resolution. However, long-term PTS prevention is fundamentally driven by comprehensive hemodynamic restoration rather than the initial access site alone. Our proposed nomogram serves as a robust, evidence-based tool for individualized risk stratification and clinical decision-making.
