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

Gluteal gangrene rarely complicates interventional procedures such as angiographic embolization in the pelvis or may develop postoperatively after open ligation or endovascular covering or embolization of one or mainly both internal iliac arteries in abdominal aortic surgery if collateral circulation is compromised. On the other hand, gluteal gangrene as a primary manifestation of chronic aortoiliac occlusive disease is very exceptional in literature. We present a patient with atherosclerotic aortoiliac obstruction and a necrotic eschar on her left buttock treated with aortobiiliac bypass after digital subtraction angiography. Internal iliac artery revascularization, even contralaterally, is crucial for the healing of necrotic tissue in these patients.
