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.
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
objectiveThe most severe form of chronic venous insufficiency includes venous leg ulcers in the CEAP-6 stage. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between incompetent perforator veins occluding with cyanoacrylate and closure of perforator veins and healing of venous leg ulcers in patients at the CEAP-6 stage.
methodsA total of 187 patients who underwent cyanoacrylate application to incompetent perforator veins due to venous leg ulcers from 2018 to 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Twelve months after the procedure, patients were evaluated for perforator vein closure, ulcer diameter, and Venous Clinical Severity Scale. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was used to estimate the probability of postoperative nonocclusion of the perforating vein based on the preoperative ulcers' diameters and the perforating veins' mean diameters. Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the risk factors associated with incomplete closure of the perforating vein.
resultsAt the 12 months, 87.1% of patients experienced incompetent perforator veins closure, leading to complete healing of venous leg ulcers. Preoperative ulcer diameter significantly decreased from 7.20 ± 3.48 cm
conclusionsThis study demonstrates that occlusion of incompetent perforator veins with cyanoacrylate is effective, safe, and associated with low complication rates in CEAP-6 patients. The findings support that cyanoacrylate occlusion of perforator veins may be a valuable option in the treatment of venous leg ulcers.
