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 compression of the popliteal artery from embryologic myotendinous variation or calf muscle hypertrophy. PAES necessitates prompt diagnosis and complete release of the entrapped vasculature for symptom relief and to prevent chronic cumulative vascular damage. Our patient is a 27-year-old female referred for progressive bilateral claudication. Workup was consistent with bilateral PAES with preoperative imaging notable for an atypically proximal origin of the anterior tibial artery, which was also encased anterior to the popliteus muscle. Preoperative angiogram confirmed the diagnosis, and complete surgical release resolved symptoms by 4 months postoperatively.
