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

Objective: This series demonstrates the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of endovascular reconstruction in three patients with congenital atresia of the inferior vena cava (IVC) or iliac veins. Methods: This is a case series of three patients with central venous anomalies treated at a tertiary referral center. Two patients presented with acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and a third patient presented with chronic venous claudication and pelvic discomfort. All patients were categorized based on the 2021 SVP Classification based on their Symptoms, location of Varices, and the underlying Pathophysiology. The etiologies and endovenous management strategies are discussed in detail. Results: Technical success was achieved in all cases, with patency maintained on follow-up duplex and cross-sectional imaging. Two patients presented with symptomatic lower extremity DVT in the setting of segmental IVC atresia, whereas another patient presented with venous claudication and long-segment common iliac vein atresia with duplicated IVC. The two patients who initially presented with DVT were discharged on therapeutic Lovenox and clopidogrel after stenting, whereas one patient who did not present with thrombosis was discharged on clopidogrel. All patients achieved resolution of lower extremity pain, swelling, and venous claudication. Conclusions: Through careful selection and understanding of the anatomy, etiology, and management strategies, patients can be successfully reconstructed with an endovascular approach.
