Effect of limited ischemia time on the amount and function of mitochondria within human skeletal muscle cells.
Trial report in European journal of trauma and emergency surgery : official publication of the European Trauma Society, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionThe clinical success of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) depends substantially on the quadriceps muscle function. A frequently applied thigh tourniquet during TKA may induce ischemia related injuries to quadriceps muscle cells. Animal limb muscles subjected to 2-5 h ischemia revealed dysfunctional mitochondria, which in turn compromised the cellular bioenergetics and increased the level of reactive oxygen species. The hypothesis of the present study was that tourniquet application during TKA for 60 min (min) affects the amount and function of mitochondria within musculus vastus medialis cells. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn a randomized clinical trial, 10 patients enrolled to undergo primary TKA. The patients were randomly assigned to the tourniquet (n = 5) or non-tourniquet group (n = 5) after obtaining a written informed consent. For each of the groups, the first muscle biopsy was harvested immediately after performing the surgical approach and the second biopsy exactly 60 min later. All biopsies (5 × 5 × 5 mm) 125 mm
resultsTourniquet-induced 60 min ischemia time did not significantly change the activities of the mitochondrial respiratory chain enzymes complexes I-III of the skeletal muscle cells. The citrate synthase activities found to be not significantly different between both groups.
conclusionsThe use of tourniquet during TKA within a limited time period of 60 min remained without substantial effects on the amount and function of mitochondria within human skeletal muscle cells.
