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

Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is a potentially life-threatening condition that involves severely reduced blood flow to the peripheral arteries due to arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO) of the limbs or a similar condition. CLI patients must undergo revascularization to avoid amputation of the lower limbs and improve their survival prognosis. However, the outcomes of conventional surgical revascularization or endovascular therapy are inadequate; therefore, establishing further effective treatment methods is an urgent task. We perform therapeutic angiogenesis using autologous bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells in clinical practice and demonstrated its safety and efficacy for CLI patients for whom conventional treatments failed or are not indicated. Exercise therapies must be devised for CLI patients who have undergone therapeutic angiogenesis to save their limbs and improve survival. Because evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of exercise therapy for CLI patients is lacking, we plan to perform a prospective trial of the efficacy and safety of optimal exercise therapy following therapeutic angiogenesis for CLI patients.The trial will enroll 30 patients between 20 and 79 years with Rutherford category 4 or 5 CLI caused by ASO who will undergo therapeutic angiogenesis. Participants will be randomly allocated to receive either optimal exercise therapy or fixed exercise therapy. Those receiving optimal exercise therapy will undergo tissue muscle oxygen saturation monitoring using near-infrared spectroscopy while performing exercises and will be prescribed optimal exercise therapy. The optimal amount of exercise will be determined on day 8, 31, 61, 91 and 181 after therapeutic angiogenesis. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This protocol was approved by the Institutional Review Boards of Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine. In accordance with the Helsinki Declaration, written informed consent has been obtained from all participants prior to enrollment. The results of this trial will be disseminated by publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
