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

The treatment of varicose veins is supposed to eliminate congestive symptoms and edema, heal skin complications and prevent complications. Surgical procedures, endovenous thermal procedures, endovenous chemical procedures and conservative measures are used for treatment. Often the invasive and conservative procedures are combined. A precise examination of the varicose veins is required for therapy planning; duplex sonography is the gold standard. Conservative therapy focuses on compression therapy with compression bandages and with compression stockings. Medical adaptive compression systems are also used in the decongestion phase. Extract from red vine leafs, extract from horse chestnut seed and oxerutin are available for oral drug therapy. Conservative therapy is especially indicated when treatment of symptomatic varicose veins is not possible or when symptomatic venous disease persists even after invasive therapy.
