Hybrid endovenous laser ablation reduces the recurrence of varicose veins below the knee compared with radiofrequency ablation: a real-world study.

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
Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the outcome of hybrid endovenous laser ablation (EVLA, 1470 nm) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) procedures for varicose veins (VVs). Material and methods: We retrospectively analysed the clinical data of patients from July 2019 to December 2020. Eighty-four patients (121 limbs) underwent a hybrid EVLA procedure, and 108 patients (151 limbs) underwent an RFA procedure. The outcomes, venous clinical severity score (VCSS), chronic venous disease quality-of-life questionnaire (CIVIQ-20) score, and recurrence at 1, 6, and 12 months were collected. Results: No differences in complications or 24-h pain scores were noted between the 2 procedures, but a lower dosage of foam sclerosant was used in the EVLA procedure than in the RFA procedure ( Conclusions: The hybrid EVLA (1470 nm) procedure reduces VV recurrence below the knee and results in better quality-of-life scores.
