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

introductionThe increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus and advances in endovascular therapies continue to have an impact on the epidemiology and management of lower extremity arterial disease. This study describes trends in lower extremity revascularisation and major lower limb amputation in NHS England over the past two decades (2000-2019).

methodsNumbers of lower extremity endovascular interventions, open surgical procedures and major lower limb amputations performed in NHS England between 2000 and 2019 were extracted from publicly available hospital admitted patient care activity reports. Trends in intervention were assessed with linear regression models and chi-square tests for trend.

resultsOver this period, 527,131 revascularisations and 92,053 amputations were performed. The mean age of patients was 67.5 years (standard deviation 1.6 years) and 65.3% were male. The number of lower limb revascularisation procedures increased by 402.4 units/year (95% confidence interval, CI, 290.1-514.6,

conclusionsThere has been a significant increase in the rate of lower limb revascularisation procedures associated with decreased numbers of major lower limb amputations over the past two decades. These changes in overall trends may affect both service provision and vascular surgery training planning.
