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

An 87-year-old male presented with a painful, pulsatile mass on the left leg, diagnosed as a high-flow arteriovenous malformation (AVM) with an occluded, calcified popliteal artery. The AVM was sustained by collateral flow from the anterior tibial and peroneal arteries. To enable catheter access to feeding tibial vessels and restore distal perfusion via the dominant posterior tibial artery, intravascular lithotripsy and balloon angioplasty were performed before coil embolization. Completion angiography confirmed successful popliteal revascularization, restored tibial flow, and AVM resolution. This case highlights the importance of addressing arterial inflow before AVM embolization in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease.
