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

purposeThis study aimed to investigate the incidence and associated risk factors of ischaemic muscle sequelae in patients with traumatic femoropopliteal artery injuries following revascularization, as well as to develop a nomogram to predict the risk of ischaemic muscle sequelae.

methodsData from patients with acute traumatic femoropopliteal artery injuries between January 2008 and December 2022 were collected. All patients with successful limb salvage were divided into two groups based on the occurrence of ischaemic muscle sequelae: the ischemic muscle sequelae group (IG) and the non-ischaemic muscle sequelae group (NG). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify potential predictive factors associated with ischaemic muscle sequelae. A predictive nomogram was constructed and internally validated.

resultsAmong the 102 patients, 30 cases (29.41%) developed ischaemic muscle sequelae. Independent predictors of ischaemic muscle sequelae were identified as crush injury, HCT, and CKMB. A nomogram was constructed based on these three parameters. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the predictive model was 0.894, indicating excellent discrimination. The calibration curve demonstrated a high degree of consistency between the predicted probabilities and the observed outcomes. Additionally, the decision curve analysis (DCA) showed that the nomogram model had good predictive capability.

conclusionsOur study demonstrated that crush injury, HCT, and CKMB were independent predictors of ischaemic muscle sequelae in patients with acute traumatic femoropopliteal artery injuries following revascularization. The nomogram integrating clinical factors and blood markers can assist physicians in conveniently predicting the risk of ischaemic muscle sequelae in patients.
