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

The presence of calcification in the femoral arteries can, at times, preclude patients from undergoing percutaneous endovascular repair of the aorta. Here, we present a case of endovascular aortic repair performed using lithotripsy-assisted femoral artery access. A heavily calcified common femoral artery was able to be treated using a lithotripsy balloon inserted from the contralateral femoral artery to allow percutaneous large-bore access. The purpose of this technique was to allow for endovascular aortic repair while avoiding the morbidity and increased hospital stay associated with open exposure of the femoral artery.
