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

A wide range of vascular pathologies can lead to upper extremity ischemia, including atherosclerotic disease, complications following arterial bypass graft, steal from hemodialysis fistula or graft, trauma including iatrogenic injury, vascular compression syndromes, collagen vascular disorders and vasospasm. Non-invasive vascular laboratory testing can be helpful in diagnosis as well as follow-up to assess disease progression and response to therapy. In this article, the technique and interpretation of physiological testing studies such as the wrist brachial index, digital brachial indices, segmental pressure measurements and pulse volume recordings are reviewed. Demonstrative clinical cases are provided with Doppler ultrasound, CT angiography, and angiography correlation.
