Vascular Grafts: Technology Success/Technology Failure.
Review in BME frontiers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 papers.
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
Vascular prostheses (grafts) are widely used for hemodialysis blood access, trauma repair, aneurism repair, and cardiovascular reconstruction. However, smaller-diameter (≤4 mm) grafts that would be valuable for many reconstructions have not been achieved to date, although hundreds of papers on small-diameter vascular grafts have been published. This perspective article presents a hypothesis that may open new research avenues for the development of small-diameter vascular grafts. A historical review of the vascular graft literature and specific types of vascular grafts is presented focusing on observations important to the hypothesis to be presented. Considerations in critically reviewing the vascular graft literature are discussed. The hypothesis that perhaps the "biocompatible biomaterials" comprising our vascular grafts-biomaterials that generate dense, nonvascularized collagenous capsules upon implantation-may not be all that biocompatible is presented. Examples of materials that heal with tissue reconstruction and vascularity, in contrast to the fibrotic encapsulation, are offered. Such prohealing materials may lead the way to a new generation of vascular grafts suitable for small-diameter reconstructions.
