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

The Data-Information-Knowledge (DIK) hierarchy describes how clinical observations are progressively transformed into actionable knowledge. Although digital technologies are beginning to reshape vascular surgery, their impact is often discussed in isolation rather than as components of a continuous knowledge-generation process. This narrative review applies the DIK framework to examine how recent technological advances are transforming each stage of knowledge generation in vascular surgery. Emphasis was placed on data modeling, computer vision and natural language processing, as well as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)-based large language model applications. Despite these advances, limitations remain, including data quality, external validation, generalizability, and the reliability and transparency of generated recommendations. Maximizing future knowledge generation requires coordinated advances across all three layers, especially on the data layer.
