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

Acute limb ischemia of the upper extremity is less frequently encountered than in the lower extremity. The etiology is typically cardioembolic. Axillary-femoral stump syndrome is a rare complication associated with an occluded axillary-femoral bypass graft. We present the case of recurrent acute limb ischemia of the upper extremity whose embolic source was a retained cuff of a previously explanted axillary-profunda bypass graft. The patient failed anticoagulation after an initial embolectomy and after a recurrent embolism from the retained cuff, ultimately required cuff exclusion with a covered stent.
