Five-year retrograde transpopliteal angioplasty results compared with antegrade angioplasty.
Article in Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
introductionRetrograde transpopliteal angioplasty (PA) is a potentially useful alternative technique for endovascular treatment of infra-inguinal arterial disease when antegrade transfemoral puncture (FA) is technically not possible or appropriate. This study aimed to investigate the outcomes of PA compared with FA during a 5-year period. PATIENTS AND
methodsA retrospective study was performed to assess 88 PA and 275 FA performed between January 2003 and January 2008. Assessments of patients, indication for procedure, disease site, stenosis severity, procedure outcomes and time to further intervention were recorded.
resultsFA was used to treat more patients with critical ischaemia (42.2% vs 30.7%; P = 0.014)). PA was used to treat more proximal superficial femoral lesions (P < 0.001) and occlusive lesions (P = 0.001). Overall, 84.1% of PA and 82.5 % of FA were technically successful. There was no difference in local puncture site complication rates. Significantly more FA resulted in distal thrombus/embolism (8.4% vs 3.4%; P = 0.044). Further intervention was required in 27.3% of PA and 36.0% of FA. The time interval to re-intervention was not different between the groups.
conclusionsPA is safe with comparable success rates and long-term outcomes to an FA. PA is a useful alternative approach for treating occlusive, proximal disease.
