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

Endovascular therapy (EVT) plays a major role in the treatment of critical limb ischemia (CLI). The latest guidelines state that the angiosome concept should be considered when performing revascularization of infrapopliteal lesions in patients with CLI. There have been several reports both of favorable and unfavorable results of angiosome-guided EVT. Based on previous reports, angiosome-guided EVT tends to improve wound healing (WH) rather than amputation-free survival and overall survival. In addition, indirect revascularization based on the angiosome concept with a good collateral flow may achieve good WH comparable to that achieved by direct revascularization. In the future, rather than just debating the effectiveness/ineffectiveness of the angiosome concept, it will be desirable to investigate the patient and lesion characteristics that may have significant influences on WH after angiosome-guided EVT and to apply the results to clinical practice.
