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

Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is a type of arterial obstruction seen in athletic and young patients with no cardiovascular risk factors. It is caused by aberrant anatomy affecting the position of the popliteal artery or gastrocnemius muscle or functional obstruction resulting from a hypertrophied gastrocnemius muscle. Rich's classification has been used to define the various entities. PAES presents as unilateral claudication exacerbated by physical exertion. However, such a clinical presentation is shared amongst not only vascular diseases but also musculoskeletal diseases. Therefore, a wide array of differential diagnoses must be considered when popliteal artery entrapment-induced claudication is suspected.
