Synthesis in The Cochrane database of systematic reviews, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

backgroundThere is insufficient evidence to guide stent usage following angioplasty in subclavian artery stenosis.

objectivesThe aim of this review was to determine whether stenting is more effective than angioplasty alone for stenosis of the subclavian artery. SEARCH STRATEGY: The Cochrane Peripheral Vascular Diseases Group searched their Specialised Register (last searched August 2011) and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (The Cochrane Library 2011, Issue 3). In addition, the authors searched the MEDLINE, EMBASE and LILACS databases, and handsearched relevant journals. Informal enquiries were made with the major stent device manufacturers to obtain information on unpublished data and any ongoing trials. There was no restriction on language. SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomized controlled trials of endovascular treatment of subclavian artery lesions comparing angioplasty alone and stent implantation. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Two authors independently evaluated studies to assess eligibility. Discrepancies were resolved by discussion. If there was no agreement, the third author was asked to assess the study for inclusion. MAIN

resultsTo date we have not identified any completed or ongoing randomized controlled trials comparing percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting for subclavian artery stenosis. AUTHORS'

conclusionsThere is currently insufficient evidence to determine whether stenting is more effective than angioplasty alone for stenosis of the subclavian artery.
