Venous insufficiency after prolonged standing: Is joint hypermobility an important risk factor?
Article in Advanced biomedical research, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06549738 (Effects of Intermittent Pneumatic Compression Therapy on Tissue Volume, Pain, and Quality of Life in Women Living With Lipedema), which is not on this map.

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
backgroundVaricose veins are extremely common disease which is due to elevated superficial venous pressures. We aimed to know that if joint hypermobility causes the venous insufficiency following the prolonged standing. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis prospective cohort study conducted on the soldiers of training periods in a military base of Iran Army in Isfahan in 2013. The active-duty soldiers were first examined by a physician and their Beighton scores (BSs) were obtained. At the onset of the training period, the presence of chronic venous insufficiency was clinically evaluated according to the C class of clinical, etiological, anatomical, and pathological classification. After 3 months, soldiers with and without joint hypermobility were reexamined for manifestations of venous insufficiency based on clinical examination.
resultsOf 718 soldiers, 211 subjects were diagnosed for joint hypermobility syndrome (29.3%). The mean BS was significantly higher in hypermobility soldiers (5.5 ± 1.5) than the healthy ones (1.2 ± 1.1). Before the training period, the prevalence of spider and varicose veins in soldiers with joint hypermobility was significantly higher than healthy subjects (P > 0.001). After the training period, the prevalence of venous insufficiency significantly increased in soldiers with joint hypermobility (P > 0.001) while there was no significant difference in healthy group before and after the period of training (P = 0.25).
conclusionHypermobility could be considered as a risk factor for the development of venous insufficiency, so it seems necessary to evaluate the population who need to be standing for a long time for evidence of joint hypermobility.
