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

Patients with acute limb ischemia require immediate intervention to treat limb-threatening arterial occlusions. The Artix thrombectomy system has been designed to leverage both aspiration and mechanical elements for clearing thrombus burden of varying size and chronicity. It also provides proximal flow restriction utilizing a covered funnel catheter to reduce the risk of thrombus migration. Here, we report a series of 3 cases using the Artix system for treating acute limb ischemia patients with arterial occlusions in both a synthetic femoropopliteal bypass graft and native arteries extending from the common femoral artery to the tibial runoff vessels. Notably, Artix was utilized bilaterally in 1 patient to address occlusions in each lower extremity after overnight thrombolytic therapy demonstrated no improvement. By utilizing the Artix thrombectomy system, the treating physicians successfully revascularized all intended segments resulting in symptom resolution, limb preservation, and no need for adjunctive thrombolytic therapy or other thrombectomy devices.
