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

Background: This study investigated the midterm primary patency of drug-coated balloons (DCBs), directional atherectomy plus balloon angioplasty (DA), and bare metal stent (BMS) angioplasty for the treatment of femoropopliteal lesions. Methods: This two-center retrospective cohort study included 105 patients (110 limbs) undergoing DCB, DA, and BMS angioplasty-32 patients (34 limbs), 31 patients (32 limbs), and 42 patients (44 limbs), respectively. The demographic, baseline, and procedure data were collected, and the complications and midterm outcomes (patency, amputation-free survival, and clinically driven target lesion revascularization rates) were analyzed. Results: All three procedures achieved a 100% success rate. Significant improvements were noted in ankle brachial index, walking distance, and Rutherford classification at 30 days post-procedure ( Conclusions: The DCB procedure demonstrated superior primary patency, compared to both BMS and DA procedures, in the treatment of femoropopliteal lesions.
