Cholesterol Emboli Syndrome Following Angioplasty: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Cholesterol emboli syndrome (CES) occurs when cholesterol crystals from atherosclerotic plaques embolize to distal arteries, often after invasive procedures like angioplasty. We report a 67-year-old man with hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia, who developed painful discoloration of his left toes following angioplasty for the management of myocardial infarction. Diagnosis of CES was confirmed by clinical findings, imaging, and a skin biopsy showing leukocytoclastic vasculitis. The patient was treated with anticoagulation, analgesics, and a vascular surgery consultation. This case underscores the importance of early recognition and management of CES to prevent further complications.
