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

In patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, the presence of chronic venous insufficiency poses a particular challenge for physicians when determining the indication for surgical treatment. Due to vascular fragility, complications such as vascular tears or ruptures with difficult hemostasis and potentially life-threatening consequences occur particularly during open surgical procedures. The degree of vascular vulnerability varies among the different subtypes of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome but can be observed across all subtypes. We performed endoluminal laser ablation close to the saphenofemoral junction of insufficient truncal veins in two patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome using a 1940-nm radial fiber and achieved adequate vessel closure without intra- or postoperative complications. This procedure, described here for the first time, represents an approach between conservative varicose vein therapy and open surgical treatment and may be considered in patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, particularly in cases of insufficient symptom control or a complicated disease course.
