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

The retrograde approach is an adjunctive technique for endovascular intervention, particularly in the treatment of lower extremity arterial disease with multilevel vascular lesions. Combined with revascularization therapy, wound care plays a pivotal role in the management of patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia. We present a case of chronic limb-threatening ischemia, with complex multilevel vascular lesions successfully treated using a retrograde endovascular approach alongside aggressive wound care management. Postintervention, the patient demonstrated a notable increase in ankle-brachial index from 0 to 1, along with accelerated wound healing and preservation of limb function. This case highlights the efficacy of the retrograde approach in restoring perfusion, particularly in chronic total occlusions, and emphasizes the importance of combining revascularization and wound care for optimal chronic limb-threatening ischemia management.
