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

backgroundPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) affects approximately 230 million people globally and is prevalent in 20%-50% of individuals with diabetes. Current diagnostic tools, such as the ankle-brachial index, have limited sensitivity in diabetic populations. This study utilizes dynamic vascular optical spectroscopy (DVOS) at thigh occlusion pressures of 60 and 100 mmHg to examine hemodynamic responses in the feet of diabetic patients, primarily aiming to enhance the detection of PAD in this group. We conducted a prospective cohort study involving 118 diabetic patients with PAD (50 males; age: 59.1 ± 7.9 years) and 118 diabetic subjects without PAD (52 males; age: 54.8 ± 13.7 years). DVOS was used to measure changes in oxyhemoglobin (ΔHbO), hemoglobin flow (HF), and tissue oxygen consumption (VO

resultsThe 60-mmHg occlusion revealed clearer hemodynamic differences than the 100-mmHg. During 60-mmHg occlusion, mean values for ΔHbO (2.0 ± 1.74 μmol), HF (0.86 ± 0.49 μmol/s), and VO

conclusionsHemodynamic parameters measured by DVOS during thigh venous occlusion differ significantly between diabetic patients with and without PAD. Our findings suggest that 60-mmHg occlusion is more effective than 100 mmHg for eliciting PAD-sensitive hemodynamic parameters. These results highlight the potential sensitivity of DVOS to PAD-related vascular impairment during low-pressure thigh occlusion.
