Multicenter, retrospective registry of isolated atherosclerotic popliteal arteries treated with endovascular revascularization.
Article in Heart and vessels, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Isolated atherosclerotic popliteal lesions (IAPLs) have been considered challenging. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of endovascular therapy (EVT) using the newer devices for IAPLs. This retrospective multicenter registry analyzed patients with lower extremity artery disease having IAPLs who underwent EVT using the newer devices between 2018 and 2021. The primary outcome was primary patency 1 year after EVT. A total of 392 consecutive patients undergoing EVT for IAPLs were enrolled. The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the primary patency and the freedom from target lesion revascularization were 80.9% and 87.8% 1 year after EVT, respectively. The multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that the clinical features that were independently associated with restenosis risk were drug-coated balloon (DCB) use for younger age (< 75 years old; adjusted hazard ratio, 3.08 [95% confidence interval 1.08-8.74]; P = 0.035), non-ambulatory status (2.74 [95% confidence interval 1.56-4.81]; P < 0.001), cilostazol use (0.51 [95% confidence interval 0.29-0.88]; P = 0.015), severe calcification (1.86 [95% confidence interval 1.18-2.94]; P = 0.007), and small external elastic membrane (EEM) area measured by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) (< 30 mm
