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.

Abstract

Patients with arteriolosclerosis have impaired microvascular perfusion leading to impaired wound healing. Aged garlic extract has shown to have a positive impact on vascular elasticity. The present study aimed to assess the effect of long-term treatment with AGE on peripheral tissue perfusion in patients with confirmed atherosclerosis. Ninety three patients with a CT-scan confirmed coronary artery arteriolosclerosis were randomised in a double-blind manner to placebo or 2400 mg AGE daily for 1 year. Peripheral tissue perfusion was evaluated at 0- and 12-months using Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging. Measurement of post occlusive reactive hyperemia (PORH) and cutaneous vascular conductance (CVC) using acetylcholine iontophoresis (Ach) was conducted. After 12 months a significant increase of 21.6% (95% CI 3.2%-40.0%, P < .05) was seen in the relative change of PORH in the AGE compared with the placebo group. The same response was seen for CVC and Ach with an increase of 21.4% (95% CI 3.4%-39.4%, P < .05) in the AGE group compared with the placebo group. Aged garlic extract regenerated peripheral tissue perfusion and increase microcirculation in patients with arteriolosclerosis. Adequate peripheral tissue perfusion and tissue oxygen tension are important prerequisites for successful tissue repair. Restored microcirculation in patients could hypothetically facilitate wound healing.
