Review in Nature reviews. Cardiology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 195 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.

Abstract

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is caused by occlusive atherosclerosis in a vascular bed other than the heart. The lower extremity is the most-common location for PAD. Critical limb ischaemia (CLI) is the most-severe clinical manifestation of PAD. Despite improvements in medical care and revascularization, patients with CLI continue to have a high risk of major amputation (below the knee or higher) and cardiovascular death. The primary goal of therapy in CLI is to achieve blood flow to the distal limb vessels with angioplasty or bypass surgery. However, many patients with CLI are unsuitable for revascularization, or the procedure is unsuccessful. Angiogenesis is the growth and proliferation of blood vessels from an existing vascular structure. In therapeutic angiogenesis, attempts are made to utilize blood vessel growth to augment perfusion. In this Review, data from phase II and III clinical trials of therapeutic angiogenesis in patients with PAD will be presented and discussed. Potential explanations for the limited success of therapeutic angiogenesis in humans will be viewed in the context of advances in our understanding of the complex mechanisms underlying angiogenesis and vascular remodelling. This Review will also cover how advances in systems biology, genetics, and gene therapy might still allow the development of new approaches to therapeutic angiogenesis and achieve the goal of restoring perfusion.
