The impact of socioeconomic status on outcomes of peripheral arterial disease in North-East Ireland.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSocioeconomic status (SES) has a measurable and significant effect on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
aimThe objective of this study was to assess the relationship between SES and peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
methodsThis is a retrospective, observational cohort study of all adult patients that were admitted with PAD between 2014 and 2020. Patients with a valid Irish postal address were assigned a SES score and quartile based on the Pobal Hasse-Pratschke (HP) deprivation index. Cox proportional hazards models and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were used to determine the relationship between SES and primary outcome measures including revascularisation, amputation and overall survival.
resultsA total of 800 patients were included. SES scores demonstrated a significant left shift when compared to the general population, indicating lower SES in the PAD cohort (combined Kolmogorov-Smirnov test p < 0.0001). SES score was not associated with repeat revascularisation (HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.99-1.02, p = 0.579). Lower SES score was associated with an increased risk of repeat amputation (HR 0.97, 95% CI 0.942-0.996, p = 0.027). Patient survival was not associated with SES status (HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.99-1.01, p = 0.688). A log-rank test showed no significant difference in overall survival by SES quartile (χ²(3) = 1.45, p = 0.693).
conclusionIn the North-East of Ireland, patients with PAD exhibited a higher incidence of socioeconomic deprivation compared to the general population. Lower socioeconomic status conferred a small increased risk of repeat amputation. However, there was no demonstratable difference in repeat revascularisation and overall survival rates across the social gradient.
