The role of infrainguinal bypass surgery in the endovascular era.
Review in Annals of vascular diseases, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The current worldwide trend in the treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is towards an increase in endovascular procedures either in the aorto-iliac area or in the infrainguinal district. However, the role of the open repair with a femoro-popliteal bypass is still debated and in our opinion there still a room for traditional surgery in the presence of complex lesions involving the superficial femoral artery and the popliteal and tibial vessels. In this field, vein bypass provides better results than prosthetic grafts, but in selected cases and not only in the absence of a suitable vein, new modified grafts may be used with satisfactory results. The choice between the two options, open and endovascular, that in some cases can be associated in hybrid procedures, depends on several factors. Only if we are able to take into account all the different preoperative issues, we could choose the right procedure in the right patient.
