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

A 79-year-old man developed bilateral intermittent claudication. Peritoneal dialysis had been initiated at 55 years of age to manage chronic renal failure. In addition, he underwent kidney transplantation at 61 years of age. His Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) was 0.82 and 0.71 for the right leg and left leg, respectively. Furthermore, his serum creatinine level had increased from 0.98 mg/dL to 2.38 mg/dL over the past 2 years. CT angiography revealed focal calcified stenosis in the terminal abdominal aorta. However, ultrasound revealed no significant stenotic lesion in the supplied artery bound to the transplanted kidney from the right external iliac artery. We performed endovascular therapy for abdominal aortic stenosis using the pressure gradient. Following the procedure, the patient's symptoms disappeared and the ABI increased to 1.25 and 1.14 in the right leg and left leg, respectively. Furthermore, the serum creatinine level improved to 0.96 mg/dL.
