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

The aim of this study was to determine whether autoregulation exerts similar effects in the ocular and cerebral vessels, which are both branches of the internal carotid artery. Ocular blood flow velocities, cerebral blood flow velocity and blood pressure were measured in 11 subjects during a 2-min resting period, static handgrip exercise (HG) and a cold pressor test (CPT). Blood velocity data for the superior and inferior temporal retinal arterioles (STRA and ITRA, respectively) and the retinal and choroidal vasculature (RCV) were obtained for 4 s during the measurement using laser speckle flowmetry. Mean blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery (MCAVmean) was measured by transcranial Doppler ultrasound. The conductance index (CI) of each vessel was calculated by dividing blood flow by mean arterial pressure. Blood flow velocity in the RCV increased by 19 ± 9% from resting baseline level during the CPT (P < 0.05), while blood flow in the STRA, ITRA and MCAVmean did not. The CI of the MCA decreased. The RCV blood flow velocity, ITRA blood flow and MCAVmean increased by 8 ± 1, 9 ± 3 and 11 ± 4%, respectively, during the HG (P < 0.05). Conversely, STRA blood flow remained unchanged. The HG did not significantly change the CI in any of the vessels measured. These findings suggest that cerebral blood flow velocity was maintained during the CPT, but autoregulation does not work well in the RCV during the CPT and HG.
