Necrotic leg ulcers secondary to hydrophilic polymer gel emboli.
Article in Journal of vascular surgery cases and innovative techniques, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
A 63-year-old man presented with left lower extremity ischemia and pain. Left lower extremity angiography revealed calcification throughout the superficial femoral artery, prompting atherectomy and angioplasty with a drug-coated balloon. About 1 week after the procedure, he developed angulated ulcers with central eschar on the left lower extremity and was referred to the dermatology clinic. A biopsy showed cutaneous intravascular foreign material consistent with hydrophilic polymer gel. In patients who develop retiform purpura and ulcerations after endovascular procedures, the diagnosis of hydrophilic polymer embolus should be considered. Treatment consists of supportive care, making early identification vital to avoid unnecessary amputation.
