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

Trauma-induced arteriovenous fistulas of the plantar artery are exceedingly rare. Although they may initially remain asymptomatic, progressive shunt flow can, over time, result in venous hyperperfusion and congestion. Definitive treatment requires closure of the fistula to restore physiological venous circulation. Endovascular embolization is the primary, minimally invasive treatment and is effective in achieving thrombosis and symptom control in many cases. In the present case, endovascular coil embolization was insufficient, and surgical closure of a chronic arteriovenous fistula of the lateral plantar artery proved to be a reliable and promising treatment alternative.
