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

aimTo find risk factors of major amputation in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) by a combination of both personal risk factors and treatment.

methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study enrolled adult patients diagnosed as symptomatic PAD. Predictors for major amputation were analyzed.

resultsThere were 221 patients with PAD met the study criteria; 28 patients (12.67%) had major amputation events. There were three independent factors Rutherford classification, white blood cell, and serum albumin. The adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of these factors were 1.824 (1.118, 2.976), 1.073 (1.019, 1.131), and 0.421 (0.202, 0.879), respectively.

conclusionsSerum albumin was modifiable to prevent future major amputation in patients with PAD.
