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

backgroundThe exact influence of tourniquet ischemia on a treated extremity remains unclear.

methodsTwenty patients received an operation on one hand under tourniquet ischemia. Twenty healthy volunteers received 10 min of tourniquet ischemia on one of their arms. Measurements of tissue oxygen saturation using near-infrared reflectance-based imaging and skin temperature of the dorsum of the hand were performed at five different timepoints (t0 was performed just before the application of the tourniquet ischemia, t1 directly after the application of the tourniquet ischemia, t2 before the release of the ischemia, t3 directly after the release of the ischemia, and t4 on the following day).

resultsIn both groups, tissue oxygen saturation dropped after the application of the tourniquet ischemia compared to t0 and increased after the release of the tourniquet ischemia. In the patient group, tissue oxygen saturation at t4 was higher compared to t0; in contrast, the level of tissue oxygen saturation in the participant group dropped slightly at t4 compared to t0. The measured skin temperature in the patient group showed an increase during the observation period, while it continuously decreased in the group of healthy participants.

conclusionsShort-term ischemia did not appear to permanently restrict perfusion in this study design. The non-invasive imaging modalities used were easy to handle and allowed repetitive measurement.
