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

Congestive heart failure can result in low perfusion to the body's periphery and fluid pooling in the lower extremities. Investigators have suggested that this combination of factors can cause venous leg ulcers to deteriorate, although reports of this association are limited in the literature. We present a case of a lower extremity venous ulcer, which worsened concomitantly with an acute exacerbation of chronic congestive heart failure, eventually requiring surgical debridement. This case report serves to investigate the assertion that comorbid heart failure, especially during acute exacerbation, may worsen wound healing in lower extremity venous ulcers.
