Clinical and Cardiovascular Profile in Patients With Peripheral Artery Disease.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Background Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a vascular disorder leading to serious complications if not managed promptly. This study is conducted to analyze clinical and cardiovascular risk factors in PAD patients presenting at a tertiary care hospital and management strategies. Methodology This observational study was conducted at the Department of Cardiology, Mohamed Bin Khalifa Specialist Cardiac Centre. One hundred and twenty patients aged more than 35 years with PAD were included in the study. Data regarding age, gender, physical exam, cardiovascular risk profile, carotid disease, coronary artery disease, and treatment strategy were recorded on a pre-designed questionnaire by the researcher himself. The data were analyzed using IBM Corp. Released 2017. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 25.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp. Results The mean age of patients with PAD was 65.46±10.56 years. About 79.2% were hypertensive, 81.7% had hyperlipidemia, 83.3% had diabetes, 29.2% had renal insufficiency, and 38.3% were active smokers, respectively. In age ≥65 years, infra-popliteal PAD was significantly lower as compared to above-knee PAD (23.4% vs. 76.6%, p=0.002). In diabetic patients, the proportion of above-knee PAD was higher than below-knee PAD (60% vs. 40%, p=0.033). Conclusion Older age, diabetes, and carotid disease were significant predictors for peripheral artery disease, and these are significantly associated with above-the-knee peripheral artery disease.
