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

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is caused by the building up of plaques in the arteries that carry blood to the lower limbs. The present study aimed to assess the predictive value of the plasma levels of P-selectin (Ps) or endothelin-1 (ET-1) regarding the occurrence of vascular restenosis after endovascular therapy for PAD. Patients with or without vascular restenosis confirmed by computed tomography angiography after endovascular therapy between March and December 2015 (n=20 per group) were enrolled. The serum levels of Ps and ET-1 prior to the operation and at 1 h, as well as 1, 2 and 3 weeks after the operation were compared between the two groups. At 1 h after the operation, the serum levels of Ps and ET-1 were significantly increased as compared with the pre-operative levels (P<0.05). The serum levels of Ps and ET-1 at 1 h, as well as 1, 2 and 3 weeks after the operation in the restenosis group were significantly higher as compared with those in the non-stenosis group (P<0.05). However, for the non-stenosis group, the serum levels of Ps and ET-1 at 1, 2 and 3 weeks after the operation did not significantly differ from the pre-operative levels (P>0.05). The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the serum ET-1 levels at 1 h after the operation for predicting post-operative restenosis in PAD patients with a cut-off of 0.1089 pg/ml were 85 and 85%, respectively. In conclusion, the serum levels of Ps and ET-1 have a high predictive value for post-operative vascular restenosis after endovascular therapy for PAD patients.
