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

aimTo present the short- and long-term outcomes of lower extremity bypass (LEB) surgery in patients with critical limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI), comparing diabetic (DM) and non-diabetic (non-DM) patients.

methodsRetrospective analysis of anonymised data from a nationwide health insurance company (AOK). Data from 22,633 patients (DM:

resultsPerioperative mortality was 10.0% for DM and 8.2% for non-DM (

conclusionPerioperative and long-term outcomes regarding survival and major amputation rate for CLTI patients undergoing LEB are consistently worse for DM patients compared to non-DM patients.
