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

To investigate the change trends of plasma D-dimer during catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) in acute lower limb ischemia (ALI) patients and their clinical value. A retrospective review of patients with ALI who received CDT was carried out. The repeated measurements of plasma D-dimer were analyzed by generalized estimating equations (GEEs) and the change trends of D-dimer were analyzed by spline regression approach. A total of 150 patients were included. Among them, 3 days of CDT was ineffective in 41 cases, effective in 33 cases and markedly effective in 76 cases. The results of GEEs analysis showed that serum D-dimer changed significantly with time (time effect, P < 0.001). Serum D-dimer levels of patients with different treatment outcomes were different after treatment (group effect, P < 0.001), and serum D-dimer levels in these three groups showed different trends over time (group*time effect, P < 0.001). The different trends in serum D-dimer level with time after treatment in the three groups could be directly seen in the spline regression curve (P < 0.001). The plasma D-dimer changes regularly during CDT for ALI. We can predict the efficacy of CDT and guide adjustments of the therapeutic regimen according to the trend of D-dimer changes during thrombolysis.
