Implementation of matrix rhythm therapy and conventional massage in young females and comparison of their acute effects on circulation.
Trial report in Journal of alternative and complementary medicine (New York, N.Y.), 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04696341 (The Effectiveness of a Novel Massage Method Matrix Rhythm Therapy in Chronic Neck Pain), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.

Abstract
objectivesTo examine and compare the effects of massage and matrix rhythm therapy in young women on the peripheral blood circulation.
designRandomized, double-blind, controlled trial.
settingPamukkale University in Denizli, Turkey. PATIENTS: Fifteen healthy women age 19-23 years.
interventionMatrix rhythm therapy was applied to the left lower extremity for a single 30-minute session. At least 1 week later, massage was applied to the left lower extremity for 30 minutes in a single session. The same physiotherapist applied both sessions. OUTCOME MEASURES: The blood velocity (cm/s), artery diameter (mm), and blood flow (ml/min) of the popliteal and the posterior tibial arteries were measured with color Doppler ultrasonography. All images were evaluated by the same radiologist.
resultsAfter matrix rhythm therapy and massage application, blood velocity, artery diameter, and blood flow in arteries increased. However, matrix rhythm therapy caused a more prominent increase in the amount of blood flow in the popliteal and in the posterior tibial artery than did massage. After matrix rhythm therapy application, the average increases in the blood flow rates in the popliteal and the posterior tibial arteries were 25.29%±16.55% and 34.33%±15.66%, respectively; after the massage, the increases were 17.84%±17.23% and 16.07%±10.28%, respectively.
conclusionMatrix rhythm therapy and massage increased peripheral blood flow in young women. Matrix rhythm therapy method resulted in more prominent increases.
