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: Chronic venous disease and lymphoedema frequently coexist, leading to significant symptom burden and impaired quality of life (QoL). Phlebotonic agents, such as diosmin, Methods: The VIVEMA Stasis study was a retrospective observational analysis conducted in a real-world clinical setting. Adult patients with lower limb venous and/or lymphatic oedema received a 30-day treatment with a standardized formulation containing diosmin, Results: Fifty-one patients (mean age 54.0 years; 84.3% female) were included. After 30 days, significant improvements were observed in QoL (global CIVIQ-14 score: Conclusion: In this real-world setting, a short-term integrative treatment with a phlebotonic formulation combining diosmin,
