Case of lower limb revascularisation using composite sequential bypass graft with a 'diamond' intermediate anastomosis.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In patients with critical infracrural disease, autologous saphenous vein grafting offers the best reported conduit patency and limb salvage rates but is only feasible in approximately 30% of patients due to the lack of available or suitable vein. In the absence of a suitable length of available vein, various composite grafting techniques have been explored with the aim to improve graft longevity, maximise native vein use and improve overall clinical outcomes, including limb salvage rates. We report a case of a 66-year-old man with critical limb ischaemia and a history of venous disease, where a complex composite sequential bypass graft combining both native vein and synthetic graft, incorporated into a novel intermediate anastomotic technique in a 'diamond' configuration, offered promising results in limb salvage. This case highlights the key steps and advantages in this novel technique.
