Subintimal angioplasty for chronic lower limb arterial occlusion.
Synthesis in The Cochrane database of systematic reviews, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundSubintimal angioplasty (SIA) has become an established percutaneous procedure for the treatment of symptomatic lower limb arterial occlusions in recent years. However, the clinical benefits of this practice remain unclear. The aim of the review was to determine the effectiveness of SIA on clinical outcomes.
objectivesTo assess the effectiveness of SIA versus any other treatment for patients with chronic lower limb artery occlusion. This will be determined by the effects on clinical improvement, technical success rate, patency rate, limb salvage rate, and morbidity rates. SEARCH
methodsThe Cochrane Peripheral Vascular Diseases Group Trials Search Co-ordinator (TSC) searched the Specialised Register (last searched January 2013) and CENTRAL (2012, Issue 12). Clinical trials databases were also searched. SELECTION CRITERIA: We planned to include data from randomized controlled trials comparing the effectiveness of SIA and any other management method in the treatment of chronic lower limb arterial occlusion. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Two authors evaluated the trials identified from the searches for appropriateness of inclusion. MAIN
resultsThere were no randomized controlled trials in which SIA was compared with any other treatment. AUTHORS'
conclusionsRandomized controlled trial evidence for the effectiveness of SIA is lacking. There is a need for high-quality randomized controlled trials comparing SIA with any other treatment.
