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

Tibial transverse transport (TTT) was firstly applied to treat thromboangiitis obliterans successfully by Professor QU Long in China in 2000. Based on this, the team of Professor HUA Qikai in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University applied this technique to treat diabetic foot since 2013, and until now, more than 500 patients underwent this treatment with excellent effectiveness including a salvage rate as high as 96.1%. Our team also improved this technique in many aspects, and developed a TTT-based classification system and treatment for diabetic foot. We also explored the underlying mechanism of TTT treatment using imaging, histology, and other basic research methods. To further promote the application of this technique in clinic, we reported the findings from our cases and reviewed our previous findings in this study.
