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

Transplant renal vein thrombosis (TRVT) affects 0.1% to 4.2% of transplants, leading to graft loss in almost all cases. Mechanical factors are the most common underlying cause of TRVT, a category that includes May-Thurner syndrome (MTS). We report a 62-year-old man underwent left-sided kidney transplantation but developed recurrent deep vein thrombosis and TRVT. Two emergency thrombectomies restored graft function, though no iatrogenic cause was identified. Further investigations revealed MTS as the underlying etiology. Left common iliac vein stenting with long-term anticoagulation was implemented, highlighting the importance of considering anatomic venous anomalies in transplant recipients with unexplained or recurrent thrombosis.
