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

Femoral artery stenosis is a rare but serious complication of arterial puncture in neonates, and surgical revascularization is challenging due to small vessel size. We report the case of a premature newborn with limb-threatening ischemia from femoral artery stenosis treated using the native umbilical artery as an autologous bypass graft. The umbilical artery was mobilized, tunneled, and anastomosed distal to the stenosis, restoring perfusion. Postoperative Doppler confirmed graft patency and resolution of ischemia. The patient later died from unrelated respiratory complications. This case highlights the technical feasibility of umbilical artery bypass for neonatal limb salvage and underscores the vulnerability of premature infants.
