The use of the ipsilateral dorsalis pedis artery approach for transarterial embolization in symptomatic chronic plantar fasciitis: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain, and while most cases respond to conservative management, some remain refractory to treatment. Chronic cases are associated with abnormal neovascularization and increased fascial vascularity. Transcatheter embolization (TAE) has recently emerged as a minimally invasive alternative for musculoskeletal pain, though prior plantar fasciitis cases have primarily used femoral or posterior tibial access. We report the first case of chronic, treatment-resistant plantar fasciitis successfully managed with TAE via the ipsilateral Dorsalis Pedis artery. A 68-year-old male (BMI 40.46 kg/m
