Review in Acta Cardiologica Sinica, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Single antiplatelet therapy with aspirin or clopidogrel is widely used in the prevention of adverse cardiovascular and limb events in patients with symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD). However, the risk of these events remains high, and the most optimal antithrombotic therapy for PAD is still uncertain. We conducted a literature search to identify the major clinical trials on therapeutic approaches in the prevention of adverse events in patients with PAD. This article provides an overview of the clinical trials that have evaluated the efficacy and safety of intensified antithrombotic strategies for PAD. Due to the heterogeneity of patient populations and the variable definitions of clinical outcomes used in different clinical studies, it was difficult to make direct comparisons between the study results. Although a number of choices are now available, the risk-benefit of each antithrombotic regimen for patients with PAD must be carefully considered.
