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

Chronic venous disease (CVD) and its major manifestation, varicose veins (VV) of the lower limbs, is a common, multifactorial disease that affects a significant percentage of adult and elderly people worldwide. Its prevalence has been constantly increasing with the aging of the population and, particularly, with the obesity pandemic (hence, the term 'phlebesity'). The major pathophysiological mechanisms that are potentiating each other in a vicious cycle, leading to chronic venous hypertension, are represented by endothelial dysfunction, chronic inflammation, impaired hemodynamics, and venous wall remodeling. Oxidative stress is another pathomechanism responsible for CVD and its complications, with the increased generation of reactive oxygen species and decreased antioxidant defense being reported to contribute to VV formation. Herein, we present evidence for the role of impaired redox homeostasis as pathophysiological mechanism responsible for chronic local and systemic oxidative stress in patients with CVD.
