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

Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is the most advanced clinical stage of peripheral vascular disease with high mobility and mortality. CLI patients suffer from lower extremity rest pain, ulceration, and gangrene caused by insufficient blood and oxygen supply. Seeking for effective biomarkers and therapeutic targets is of great significance for improving the life quality of CLI patients. The circadian clock has been reported to be involved in the progression of kinds of cardiovascular diseases. Whether and how circadian genes play a role in CLI remains unknown. In this study, by collecting femoral artery and muscle specimens of CLI patients who underwent amputation, we confirmed that the circadian gene Bmal1 is downregulated in the CLI femoral artery and ischemic distal lower limb muscle. Furthermore, we verified that Bmal1 affects CLI by regulating lipid metabolism, inflammation, and angiogenesis. A hindlimb ischemia model performed in wild-type and Bmal1
