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

Dialysis vascular access remains vitally important to maintain life and functional capacity with end stage renal disease. Angioplasty is an integral part of maintaining dialysis access function and patency. To understand the effect of angioplasty balloon dilation on vascular wall mechanics, we conducted a clinical study to evaluate the elastic modulus of the anastomosis in five subjects with anastomosis stenoses, before and after six angioplasty procedures, using B-mode ultrasound DICOM data. A novel and open source vascular ultrasound high-resolution speckle tracking software tool was used. The median lumen diameter increased from 3.4 to 5.5 mm after angioplasty. Meanwhile, the median elastic modulus of the 18 measurements at the anastomosis increased by 52.2%, from 2.24 × 10
