Efficacy and Safety of Sarpogrelate on Symptom Improvement in Patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) and/or Being at Risk of PAD: A Single Arm, Multi-Centered, Open-Label Trial.
Trial report in Current vascular pharmacology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimsTo assess the efficacy and safety of sarpogrelate (300 mg) for symptom improvement in patients having peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and/or being at risk of PAD in clinical practice using the Peripheral Artery Questionnaire (PAQ).
backgroundSymptomatic changes with antiplatelets in patients with PAD are limited.
objectiveTo determine the effect and safety of sarpogrelate on the PAQ at 24 weeks from baseline.
methodsA total of 1003 patients having PAD and/or being at risk of PAD from 17 tertiary hospitals in South Korea who were treated with sarpogrelate, were enrolled in this study. PAQs were collected at baseline and at 12 and 24 weeks, together with physical examination and vital signs measurements. Lifestyle pattern was also investigated.
resultsThe average PAQ Summary Score in the efficacy evaluation analysis group significantly improved from 62.9 ± 23.7 at baseline to 68.9 ± 21.7 at 24 weeks (P<0.0001). Physical limitation items significantly improved from 69.5 ± 30.0 at baseline to 72.9 ± 28.3 after 24 weeks (P=0.0011). Symptom stability also significantly improved from 52.1 ± 21.6 at baseline to 63.6 ± 22.9 after 24 weeks (P<0.0001). Symptoms, treatment satisfaction, quality of life, and social limitation domains all improved after treatment. A total of 201 patients reported adverse events (20.0%), not directly associated with treatment.
conclusionTreatment with 300 mg (orally) of sarpogrelate demonstrated statistically significant improvements in all domains and for the summary score of the PAQ at 24 weeks, it gave good results in terms of safety. Sarpogrelate may be helpful in reducing symptoms related to PAD.
