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

backgroundEndovascular revascularization for lower limb arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO) is often limited by long-term restenosis. This study evaluated whether the traditional Chinese medicine formula Danggui Sini Decoction (DGSD) could improve mid-term outcomes when combined with the standard procedure.

aimTo investigate the clinical efficacy of DGSD combined with endovascular revascularization in the treatment of ASO and its impact on patients' quality of life.

methodsA total of 38 ASO patients treated at Zhangjiajie People's Hospital from January 2023 to January 2025 were selected and randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group, with 19 patients in each group. The control group received conventional endovascular revascularization and basic treatment, while the experimental group was treated with DGSD in addition to the control group's treatment. The clinical effectiveness rate, freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularization, primary patency rate, and quality of life scores were compared between the two groups.

resultsWithin one month postoperatively, there was no significant difference in clinical effectiveness between the two groups (experimental group: 78.95%

conclusionDGSD combined with endovascular revascularization can significantly improve the mid-term clinical efficacy in ASO patients, reduce the risk of lower limb arterial re-occlusion, and enhance quality of life, demonstrating significant clinical application value.
