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

Chronic venous insufficiency with and without ulceration is a common complication of varicose veins. Heinz-Lippmann disease is a potentially underreported complication of chronic venous insufficiency that involves heterotopic ossification of the peri-wound that might contribute to the chronicity of venous leg ulcers. Most commonly, heterotopic ossification is associated with traumatic injury. We report the cases of three patients with chronic venous insufficiency and no history of trauma who were found to have subcutaneous calcifications consistent with Heinz-Lippmann disease. Osteomyelitis was confirmed in two patients. Physical examination and diagnostic imaging can be helpful in determining the diagnosis. Interventions can include biopsy to rule out osteomyelitis, with subsequent treatment, if needed.
