Outcomes in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease With and Without Prior Minor Amputation: A Comparative Analysis.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundPeripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a major global health concern, as critical limb-threatening ischemia leads to higher rates of amputation and mortality. The prognostic impact of prior minor amputation (PMA) is unclear. This study compares major amputation and all-cause mortality rates in patients with PAD with and without PMA and examines key demographic and clinical differences between these groups.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included 430 consecutive patients with PAD at a tertiary vascular center. Patients were stratified according to PMA status into a PMA group (
resultsAmong 430 patients, 72 (16.7%) had PMA, whereas 358 (83.3%) did not. The PMA group had higher rates of smoking (
conclusionsPMA was associated with lower adjusted risks of major amputation and mortality in this retrospective cohort of patients with PAD. These results represent observational associations and require prospective validation. Aggressive medical management should be prioritized in all patients with PAD.
