Difference in Serum Endostatin Levels in Diabetic Patients with Critical Limb Ischemia Treated by Autologous Cell Therapy or Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty.
Article in Cell transplantation, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 aim of this study was to compare the serum levels of the anti-angiogenic factor endostatin (S-endostatin) as a potential marker of vasculogenesis after autologous cell therapy (ACT) versus percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in diabetic patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI). A total of 25 diabetic patients with CLI treated in our foot clinic during the period 2008-2014 with ACT generating potential vasculogenesis were consecutively included in the study; 14 diabetic patients with CLI who underwent PTA during the same period were included in a control group in which no vasculogenesis had occurred. S-endostatin was measured before revascularization and at 1, 3, and 6 months after the procedure. The effect of ACT and PTA on tissue ischemia was confirmed by transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO
