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

Ischemic ulcers due to compromised microcirculation of the lower limbs cause painful ulcers that represent a challenge for the correct diagnosis and treatment. Livedoid vasculopathy, calciphylaxis, and Martorell's hypertensive ischemic ulcer are part of this group and present some similarities due to microvascular occlusive impairment. They are often misdiagnosed as inflammatory ulcers such as pyoderma gangrenosum and vasculitis. This review discusses the pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical aspects, differential diagnoses, histopathology, and presents a therapeutic update of livedoid vasculopathy, calciphylaxis, and Martorell's ulcer. Although they are less frequent causes of chronic ulcers, a correct diagnosis is essential to reduce the chance of erroneous therapies that may impact morbidity and mortality related to these conditions.
