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

5-Hydroxytryptamine type 2 antagonists are used to treat symptomatic peripheral arterial disease. However, it remains unknown as to whether the administration of sarpogrelate, a 5-hydroxytryptamine type 2 antagonist, improves the prognosis after endovascular therapy for critical limb ischemia (CLI). We performed a retrospective analysis using a database of 386 Japanese patients undergoing endovascular therapy for CLI. Sixty-seven patients were treated with sarpogrelate, and we compared their prognosis with that of an equal number of background-matched controls extracted from the population. The primary end point was the first event of either major amputation or death from any cause, and amputation-free survival was evaluated. The follow-up period was 21 ± 18 months (mean ± standard deviation), and 58 end points were observed. Patients treated with sarpogrelate had a significantly higher amputation-free survival rate than their matched controls (P = 0.036). The hazard ratio for the end point and its 95 % confidence interval was 0.57 (0.34-0.97). These results suggest that sarpogrelate treatment is associated with a favorable prognostic outcome in CLI patients undergoing endovascular therapy. Future prospective studies are required to investigate whether sarpogrelate treatment would improve the prognosis of CLI patients.
