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

backgroundThe purpose of this study is to report the efficacy of the mono antiplatelet plus anticoagulation therapy for prevention of reocclusion in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing endovascular treatment for lower extremity ischemia.

methodsFrom March 2014 to July 2016, 32 (21 males; range, 68-84 years) patients were submitted to endovascular therapy for low extremity ischemia with AF and all were treated with endovascular treatments to correct underlying lesions. Then 20 patients receive aspirin plus rivaroxaban post-operation and 12 patients receive aspirin plus warfarin to prevent reocclusion.

resultsComplete reconstruction of occluded femopopliteal arteries with unimpeded blood flow to legs were successfully obtained in all 32 patients; 12 (37.5%) patients had acute ischemia, 17 (53.1%) patients had chronic ischemia, 3 (9.4%) patients had acute on chronic ischemia. Endovascular treatments including percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and stenting were performed to correct residual lesions after the thrombolytic/thrombectomy procedure or to correct native lesions for chronic patients. All 32 patients showed significant improvements in symptoms and 4 patients improved completely. The mean ankle-brachial index (ABI) had risen from 0.43±0.21 preoperatively to 0.81±0.16 postoperatively (P<0.01), and the primary patency rates were 88.9% at 12 months, and 81.5% at 24 months. No episodes of major bleeding and only one patient showed positive fecal occult blood tests during the follow-up.

conclusionsThe mono antiplatelet plus anticoagulation therapy offers a safe and effective alternative for prevention of reocclusion in patients with AF undergoing endovascular treatment for lower extremity ischemic.
