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

Atherosclerosis is the basis of the cardiovascular continuum in peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients. Limiting functional decline and increasing quality of life are the main objectives for these patients. We conducted a prospective cohort study on 101 patients with PAD admitted to a single center in Northeast Romania. We used an index score to evaluate the 10-year mortality risk assessment and based on the scores we divided the patients into two groups: a low and low-intermediate risk mortality group (49 cases, 48.5%) and a high-intermediate and high-risk mortality group (52 cases, 51.5%). We analyzed demographics, comorbidities, clinical and paraclinical parameters and we aimed to identify the parameters associated with an unfavorable prognosis. Patients in the high-intermediate and high-risk mortality group were associated more with cardiovascular risk factors. Hypertension (p = 0.046), dyslipidemia (p < 0.001), diabetes mellitus (p < 0.001), and tobacco use (p = 0.018) were statistically significant factors. Lipid profile (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, p = 0.005) and fasting blood glucose (p = 0.013) had higher mean serum values in the high-intermediate and high-risk mortality group, with a positive correlation between them and the ankle-brachial index value (p = 0.003). A multidisciplinary assessment and, especially, correction of associated cardiovascular risk factors prevent complications, and thus, improve the prognosis in the medium and long term.
