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

introductionEndovascular revascularization (ER) techniques in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) have been developed and became more accessible in recent years. The ER is a first-line treatment in the majority of patients with symptomatic PAD. However, data on assessment of predictors of long-term outcomes of retrograde ER in patients with PAD are scarce.

aimTo evaluate predictors of long-term outcomes of retrograde ER in patients with chronic total occlusion in lower limb arteries. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe analyzed data of 834 patients who underwent retrograde ER. Baseline clinical characteristics and procedural data were collected. Patients were followed up for 36 months, and the primary endpoint was all-cause mortality.

resultsAll patients were symptomatic and had failed antegrade ER. The procedural success rate was 92%. Cumulative all-cause mortality was 13.4% at 36-month follow-up. In multivariate analysis history of stroke, Rutherford category, chronic limb ischemia, chronic kidney disease (CKD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and previous ER of other lesion were independent predictors of a higher mortality rate after 36 months (hazard ratio (HR) for stroke 2.4, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.55-3.66;

conclusionsHistory of stroke, Rutherford category, chronic limb ischemia, CKD, COPD, and previous ER of other lesion were independently associated with increased risk of all-cause death.
