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

Ovarian vein coil embolization is a well-established treatment for pelvic congestion syndrome. Although regarded as a safe and effective procedure, complications related to coil migration to the heart remain exceedingly rare but require a multidisciplinary approach to weigh the risks and benefits of conservative management against surgical intervention. Our case describes an asymptomatic delayed coil migration to the right ventricle attached to the subvalvular apparatus observed on echocardiography. Considering the risk of an endovascular retrieval and to mitigate further risks of complications, the coil was successfully removed via a minimally invasive right mini-thoracotomy.
