Baseline assessment and comparison of arterial anatomy, hyperemic flow, and skeletal muscle perfusion in peripheral artery disease: The Cardiovascular Cell Therapy Research Network "Patients with Intermittent Claudication Injected with ALDH Bright Cells" (CCTRN PACE) study.
Trial report in American heart journal, 2017. 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
backgroundPeripheral artery disease (PAD) is important to public health as a major contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Recent developments in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques permit improved assessment of PAD anatomy and physiology, and may serve as surrogate end points after proangiogenic therapies.
methodsThe PACE study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to assess the physiologic impact and potential clinical efficacy of autologous bone marrow-derived ALDH
resultsThe interreader and intrareader and test-retest results demonstrated good-to-excellent reproducibility (interclass correlation coefficient range 0.61-0.98) for all magnetic resonance measures. The PAD participants (n=82) had lower capillary perfusion measured by calf muscle plasma volume (3.8% vs 5.6%) and peak hyperemic popliteal flow (4.1 vs 13.5mL/s) as compared with the healthy participants (n=16), with a significant level of collateralization.
conclusionsReproducibility of the MRI primary end points in PACE was very good to excellent. The PAD participants exhibited decreased calf muscle capillary perfusion as well as arterial flow reserve when compared with healthy participants. The MRI tools used in PACE may advance PAD science by enabling accurate measurement of PAD microvascular anatomy and perfusion before and after stem cell or other PAD therapies.
