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.

2 · The registry

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

Leriche syndrome presents as a triad of claudication, erectile dysfunction, and decreased distal pulses. This syndrome is a well-recognized entity in the current literature; however, our case report illustrates that even with a severe ostial lesion of the inferior mesenteric artery, the vessel was able to provide perfusion to bilateral lower extremities. The patient presented with symptoms of progressive pain in his right leg that limited his physical activity and he also complained of paresthesia, pallor, and cold skin with black discoloration of his toes bilaterally. Diagnostic testing confirmed Leriche syndrome and he successfully underwent surgical revascularization.
