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
Background: Timely and economic provision of revascularisation procedures is a major healthcare need. We aimed to examine the safety and efficacy of daycase-based lower extremity endovascular revascularisation procedures in patients with peripheral artery disease. Methods: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched MEDLINE and Embase for studies from Jan 01, 2000 through Apr 01, 2024 reporting complications of lower limb endovascular revascularisation procedures with same-day discharge. Eligibility-criteria, complications, and patient characteristics were extracted, methodological quality assessed (adapted Newcastle-Ottawa Scale), and meta-analyses of complications and technical success performed to provide pooled estimates. This study is registered with PROSPERO, CRD42022316466. Findings: Thirty observational studies (17 retrospective, 13 prospective) and 1 RCT reported 2427 minor and 653 major complications after 99,600 daycase procedures (93,344 patients). Eighteen studies reported daycase eligibility-criteria including 'responsible adult companion' (78%), 'proximity to hospital', and 'telephone availability' and excluding unstable and severe co-morbidities, offset coagulation, and severe chronic kidney disease. Pooled incidences of minor (4.7% [95% CI 3.8-5.6%], Interpretation: After careful evaluation of eligibility, lower limb angioplasty can be performed safely with high technical success in a daycase setting. Most complications arise from the puncture site and not the procedure itself highlighting the importance of optimal access site management. The heterogeneity between studies warrants standardised monitoring of complications and outcomes.
