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

A 79-year-old man presented with acute-onset coldness and severe pain in his left foot 4 hours prior. His foot (distal to the left Lisfranc joint) was pale and cold with slight motor and sensory deficits. Angiography demonstrated occlusion of the lateral plantar artery and plantar metatarsal arteries (PMAs). Angioplasty using balloons for each PMA and lateral plantar artery was conducted, but failed to achieve satisfactory blood flow. The foot condition subsequently worsened. A 22-gauge cannula was then inserted into the dorsalis pedis artery, and continuous local intra-arterial infusion of heparin, alprostadil, and nicorandil was administered. A marked reduction in the cyanotic areas of the foot was observed, with improved motor and sensory deficits post-continuous local intra-arterial infusion therapy. Follow-up angiography via the cannula on day 3 of hospitalization demonstrated significant flow improvement in the first to third PMAs. Foot salvage was achieved without tissue necrosis or amputation.
