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

Limb reimplantation is widely described, but there are sparse reports of limb ischemia complications. We present the case of a patient with hand reimplantation who developed limb-threatening ischemia 20 years later. The patient is a 37-year-old man with a history of traumatic wrist amputation and reimplantation who presented with fingertip ulcerations. Testing demonstrated ischemic digit pressures and no flow in the palmar arch. The initial angiogram demonstrated radial artery occlusion. Balloon angioplasty had initial success; however, the loss of primary patency prompted repeat angiography with the use of intravascular ultrasound and laser atherectomy. His symptoms and wounds resolved, with normalized digit pressures. His radial artery remains patent after 2 years.
