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

Background: The impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the volume of endovascular therapy (EVT) procedures for symptomatic PAD in Japan has not been systematically studied. Methods and Results: We analyzed data from the nationwide EVT procedural registry in Japan (2012-2023). The volume for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) remained stable during and after the pandemic, but the volume for intermittent claudication was lower than forecasted after 2020, and the decrease in volume lasted even after the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusions: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on EVT volumes differs based on limb severity.
