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

We present a case of a 72-year-old female patient who presented with resting pain in her right limb 3 weeks after coronary intervention via femoral access. Duplex sonography and angiography revealed subtotal occlusion of the right common femoral artery, due to vessel wall protrusion into the lumen, caused by the vascular closure (StarClose) device, which was used for puncture site closure during the initial coronary intervention. The patient was successfully treated with 8F Rotarex debulking and subsequent drug-coated balloon angioplasty without stent placement. Duplex sonography after 4 weeks showed biphasic flow in the right limb down to the distal pedal arteries.
