[Ulcers in obesity-associated chronic venous insufficiency].
Article in Der Hautarzt; Zeitschrift fur Dermatologie, Venerologie, und verwandte Gebiete, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundChronic venous insufficiency is a frequently occurring disease consisting of a characteristic symptom complex and ulcerations. Normally, varicose veins with reflux or obstruction can be found. However, these symptoms have also been described in obese people and are considered functional chronic venous insufficiency. The aim of this work was to present patients with ulceration in obesity-associated chronic venous insufficiency and to describe typical features of ulceration in obese people. MATERIALS AND
methodsSeven patients with ulcerations of the lower limbs in obesity-associated chronic venous insufficiency were examined. Duplex sonography was performed; reflux or stenosis as well as a peripheral arterial occlusive disease could be excluded.
resultsIn all, 7 patients presented with grade I-III obesity. The duplex sonographic examination showed no evidence of reflux or obstruction. However, multiple ulcers were found located on the proximal or ventrolateral lower limb. Most of them occurred posttraumatically or after insect bites with typical signs of chronic venous disease including hyperpigmentation and erythema.
conclusionThe cause of obesity-associated chronic venous insufficiency has been associated with an increased intraabdominal pressure due to abdominal fat masses. It leads to venous hypertension. Therapy consists of consequent compression therapy combined with suitable wound care, weight reduction, and regular exercise.
