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

This review considers peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in the diabetic ischaemic lower limb including both macrovascular and microvascular aspects. The presentation of PAD is probably not significantly different in type 1 compared with type 2 diabetes. PAD in diabetic patients is diffuse and located distally being most severe in the crural and also the foot arteries. It is associated with arterial calcification and occlusion of the arteries rather than stenosis. Compared with the nondiabetic patient, PAD develops at a younger age, and women are equally affected as men. It is not known whether the presentation of ischaemic lower limb disease in diabetes can be explained by one disease, namely, atherosclerosis, which has particular features peculiar to diabetes such as distal arterial involvement, or by the occurrence of two separate diseases: first, classical atherosclerosis and, second, a diabetic macroangiopathy, a term for nonatherosclerotic arterial disease in diabetes that is characterized by medial arterial calcification. Furthermore, there is controversy with regard to the significance of structural changes in the microcirculation of the diabetic foot.
