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

purposeSex-based differences in peripheral arterial disease are well-known. Aim of this study was to evaluate sex-related disparities in patients undergoing endovascular treatment of isolated popliteal artery lesions. MATERIAL AND

methodsBetween 1th January 2004 and 1th January 2021 304 patients underwent endovascular treatment of an isolated popliteal artery lesion at three vascular centers. A retrospective analysis was performed comparing the outcomes in female versus male patients.

resultsThe majority of the patients were female (51.3%). Male patients were younger (70.4 vs. 76.8 years, p < 0.01). Hyperlipidemia (62.2% vs. 45.5%, p < 0.01) and diabetes (62% vs. 40%, p < 0.01) were more common in male group. There were more current and former smokers in the male group (p = 0.04 and p = 0.01). There were no differences regarding lesion length (mean 94.5 mm) nor location of the lesion. Technical success was comparable in both groups 94.6% vs. 97.4%), no differences in terms of in-hospital complications (9.5% vs. 7.7%) were found. At 3 years estimates did not demonstrate any difference in terms of clinically driven target lesion revascularization (23% vs. 34%), secondary patency (86% vs. 96%), and all-cause mortality (77% vs. 67%) between the two groups.

conclusionIn our experience the female sex showed clinical signs of popliteal artery lesion at higher age with less aggressive atherosclerotic risk factors. However, during the follow-up no sex-related significant differences were found in terms of morphological and clinical outcomes after endovascular revascularization.
