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

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a progressive atherothrombotic disorder affecting more than 230 million people worldwide. Conventional animal models of chronic hindlimb ischemia (HLI) are highly invasive, technically challenging, fail to account for anatomical variation, and may not accurately recapitulate progressive PAD pathophysiology. To address these limitations, we developed a novel chronic HLI model using an ilio-femoral endovascular catheter occlusion (IFCO) approach. We hypothesized that IFCO would chronically reduce hindlimb blood flow, induce PAD-associated myopathy, and overcome limitations of conventional techniques. Laser Doppler perfusion imaging demonstrated that IFCO reduced resting hindlimb perfusion by 70%, with significant reductions persisting for up to 28 days. Histological analysis of the soleus revealed significantly increased fibrosis (4.99% in sham vs. 13.19% in IFCO) and reduced myofiber cross-sectional area (3072.21 μm
