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

To retrospectivly investigate the short-term clinical outcomes of one-stop and two-staged endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) procedures for treatment of varicose veins (VVs) and iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS). In this study, 424 patients were treated for VVs and IVCS from June 2017 to June 2020, 91 underwent one-stop stent angioplasty (SA) and EVLA, 132 underwent two-staged SA and EVLA, 104 underwent one-stop balloon angioplasty (BA) and EVLA, and 97 underwent two-staged BA and EVLA. Clinical outcomes and complications were recorded at 3 and 12 months post-intervention. Quality of life (QoL) was assessed with the venous clinical severity score (VCSS) and Villalta scale. Patients in the SA groups were older (p < 0.05) with higher BMI values (p < 0.05). The incidences of iliac vein stenosis (p < 0.001) and recurrent VVs (p < 0.01) were lower in the one-stop SA group. The VCSS was significantly improved (p < 0.05) at 12 months after the one-stop SA procedure. The one-stop SA procedure effectively relieved symptoms, decreased symptom recurrence, and improved the QoL of patients with VVs and severe IVCS. The two-staged BA procedure is recommended for patients with longer life expectancy.
