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

Popliteal adventitial cystic disease has traditionally been treated with open surgery of cyst excision, patch repair of artery, or interposition graft. Endovascular angioplasty or stenting has demonstrated poor mid- to long-term results because high-viscosity tension of the adventitial cyst continues to exert extrinsic compression, resulting in early elastic recoil and disease recurrence. To our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature of an effective endovascular strategy using a popliteal stent graft reinforced with an interwoven nitinol stent to treat popliteal cysts, with favorable short- and mid-term outcome. Antiplatelet therapy should be continued, and patient should undergo regular clinical and duplex surveillance to ensure popliteal artery patency.
