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

objectiveThe Wound, Ischemia, and foot Infection (WIfI) clinical stage has been thought to have a prognostic value in Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) patients, and frailty and nutritional status appear to represent pivotal factor affecting prognosis among CLTI patients. The purpose of this study was to examine clinical factors (including frailty and nutritional status) relevant to WIfI clinical stage.

methodsThis retrospective study investigated 200 consecutive CLTI patients. We individually assessed WIfI clinical stage, frailty according to the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) score, and malnutrition according to Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI). We then compared mortality after endovascular intervention between a WIfI stage 1, 2 group and a stage 3, 4 group, and investigated associations between baseline characteristics (including CFS and GNRI) and WIfI clinical stage.

resultsAmong 200 patients, 123 patients (62%) showed WIfI stage 1 or 2, and the remaining 77 patients (38%) had WIfI stage 3 or 4. CFS score was significantly higher in the WIfI stage 3, 4 group [median 6.0, interquartile range (IQR) 5.5-7.0] compared with the WIfI stage 1, 2 group (median 5.0, IQR 4.0-6.0,

conclusionsThese results indicate that CLTI patients with high WIfI clinical stage may be more frail and malnourished, and be associated with poor prognosis after endovascular intervention.
