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.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE AND

designLaser Doppler imaging (LDI) and laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) can measure localized skin perfusion. The purpose of the study was to directly compare LDF with LDI as a tool for measuring skin blood changes in an experimental model of chemically-induced skin inflammation.

methodsRegions of interest 1.8 cm² in area on the forearm skin of eight healthy volunteers were randomized and exposed to 0.25, 0.5, 1, or 2 % topical sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) or vehicle for 24 h. Mean blood flow was measured by LDI and LDF at 24, 48, and 72 h. Inflammation was clinically graded using a standardized, clinical score.

resultsSodium lauryl sulfate induced significant, dose-dependent local inflammation. Both Doppler methods were significantly correlated with the clinical grading (LDF, r = 0.755; LDI, r = 0.836). LDF and LDI showed similar significance differences with regard to dose- and time-response patterns compared to the vehicle. The absolute and relative LDF and LDI values were significantly correlated.

conclusionsLaser Doppler flowmetry and LDI showed similar dose- and time-response relations in irritant-induced inflammatory skin reactions. For the assessment of localized skin reactions, LDI possesses no apparent advantages over the less expensive LDF method for grading dermal inflammatory reactions.
