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

Traumatic popliteal artery occlusion is a limb-threatening condition traditionally managed with open surgical revascularization. Here, we describe a 66-year-old man with delayed occlusion after high-energy lower-extremity trauma. Initial computed tomography angiography indicated preserved flow despite severe arterial deformation. Progressive heel necrosis developed after fracture fixation and debridement; repeat imaging on day 24 showed complete occlusion of the popliteal artery. Intravascular ultrasound-guided endovascular repair with an interwoven nitinol stent restored antegrade flow. Wound healing was achieved after flap and skin graft procedures, and stent patency was maintained for >2.5 years.
