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

Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) filters are an established treatment option to prevent morbidity and mortality in patients who are at high risk for pulmonary embolus and unable to receive pharmacological anticoagulation. As their use increases, we are now seeing an increasing incidence of associated complications; IVC thrombosis is one of them and can be challenging to treat. Our report describes a rare case of a 55-year-old male patient with active metastatic lung cancer presenting with concurrent inferior vena cava syndrome and spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage due to an occlusive IVC filter-associated thrombus. The case demonstrates successful treatment with large bore mechanical thrombectomy. Our case aims to provide insight into a rare yet complex complication that can occur due to IVC filter use. Our hope is that this case increases awareness of how to successfully manage concurrent IVC filter thrombosis and resultant retroperitoneal hemorrhage with large bore mechanical thrombectomy.
