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

objectivesVenous diseases in the lower extremities long lacked an objective diagnostic tool prior to the advent of the triggered angiography non-contrast-enhanced (TRANCE) technique.

methodsAn observational study with retrospective data analysis. MATERIALS: Between April 2017 and June 2019, 66 patients were evaluated for venous diseases through TRANCE-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and were grouped according to whether they had occlusive venous (OV) disease, a static venous ulcer (SU), or symptomatic varicose veins (VV). The clinical appliance of TRANCE-MRI was analysed by groups.

resultsIn total, 63 patients completed the study. TRANCE-MRI could identify venous thrombosis, including that of the abdominal and pelvic vessels, and it enabled the timely treatment of underlying diseases in patients with OV disease. TRANCE-MRI was statistically compared with the duplex scan, the gold standard to exclude deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the legs, with regard to their abilities to detect venous thrombosis by using Cohen's kappa coefficient at a compatible value of 0.711. It could provide the occlusion degree of the peripheral artery for treating an SU. Finally, TRANCE-MRI can be used to outline all collateral veins and occult thrombi before treating symptomatic or recurrent VV to ensure a perfect surgical plan and to avoid complications.

conclusionsTRANCE-MRI is an innovative tool in the treatment of versatile venous pathology in the lower extremities and is widely used for vascular diseases in our institution.
