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

This study highlights the potential of scanning optoacoustic angiography (OA) in identifying alterations of superficial vasculature in patients with post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) of the foot, a venous stress disorder associated with significant morbidity developing from long-term effects of deep venous thrombosis. The traditional angiography methods available in the clinics are not capable of reliably assessing the state of peripheral veins that provide blood outflow from the skin, a key hallmark of personalized risks of PTS formation after venous thrombosis. Our findings indicate that OA can detect an increase in blood volume, diameter, and tortuosity of superficial blood vessels. The inability to spatially separate vascular plexuses of the dermis and subcutaneous adipose tissue serves as a crucial criterion for distinguishing PTS from normal vasculature. Furthermore, our study demonstrates the ability of scanning optoacoustic angiography to detect blood filling decrease in an elevated limb position versus increase in a lowered position.
