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

In the last 20 years, the prevalence of peripheral artery disease has increased by 72%, with affected patients facing a 5% to 10% risk at 5 years of developing chronic limb-threatening ischemia. Approximately 20% of patients with limb-threatening ischemia have no revascularization options and may face amputation. Venous arterialization was conceptualized in the early 1900s as a last resort limb salvage strategy. We present four cases of no-option revascularization in which patients underwent a novel technique of superficial venous arterialization using a long stent to cover venous branches to optimize distal arterial perfusion and limit additional wounds, resulting in a 75% limb salvage rate.
