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

Endovascular treatment of infrapopliteal lesions is challenging. An antegrade approach to the origin of the anterior tibial artery (ATA), which branches sharply from the relatively large popliteal artery with a preserved lumen, can be more challenging than initially expected. Moreover, in cases with ambiguous entry points of the occluded ATA, establishing retrograde access is promising for successful intervention. We present a case of chronic limb-threatening ischemia with an unidentified entry point for ATA occlusion in which stepwise modification of the endovascular treatment strategy was a critical determinant of successful revascularization.
