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
Acute limb ischemia (ALI) is a sudden lack of blood flow to a limb, primarily caused by arterial embolism and thrombosis. Various experimental animal models, including non-invasive and invasive methods, have been developed and successfully used to induce limb ischemia-reperfusion injuries (L-IRI). However, there is no consensus on the methodologies used in animal models for L-IRI, particularly regarding the assessment of functional recovery. The present study aims to compare different approaches that induce L-IRI and determine the optimal animal model to study functional limb recovery. In this study, we applied a pneumatic cuff as a non-invasive method and ligated the aorta, iliac, or femoral artery as invasive methods to induce L-IRI. We have measured grip strength, motor function, creatine kinase level, inflammatory markers such as nuclear factor NF-κB, interleukin-6 (IL-6), hypoxia markers such as hypoxia-induced factor-1α (HIF-1α), and evaluated the muscle injury with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining in Sprague Dawley rats after inducing L-IRI. The pneumatic pressure cuff method significantly decreased the muscle strength of the rats, causing the loss of ability to hold the grid and inducing significant limb function impairment, while artery ligations did not. We conclude from this study that the tourniquet cuff method could be ideal for studying functional recovery after L-IRI in the rat model.
