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.

Abstract

Sclerotherapy is the treatment of choice for telangiectasias and reticular veins. The most common side effects of this procedure are hyperpigmentation and matting, which are feared owing to their aesthetic damage and difficulty of treatment. Combined treatments with laser and hypertonic glucose sclerotherapy have been described with excellent results, but limited to treatment of veins of ≤2 mm in diameter. Cryo laser after foam sclerotherapy is a procedure to treat reticular veins in the lower extremities that utilizes first foam sclerotherapy with polidocanol than immediately followed by transdermal Nd:YAG 1064 laser treatment and we can treat veins ≤5 mm. This report presents a successful case of varicose vein treatment using combined transdermal laser and sclerotherapy with foam sclerotherapy with polidocanol to treat veins >2.5 mm in diameter.
