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
introductionIntermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) is now a widely used therapy for the prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. In general, the IPC sequence is composed of sequential compression and simultaneous deflation. Typically, veins are considered to be squeezed and emptied during the compression phase and to be refilled during the deflation phase. However, because the stop or sudden increase in blood flow can be dangerous, a further investigation is needed with respect to the blood flow. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe demonstrated a new compression protocol based on the investigation results of venous blood flow during IPC. This new compression protocol involves successive compression without the deflation phase; thus, the expelled blood volume flow during a given period can be maximized. To investigate the blood flow during IPC, sonography movie clips and in-laboratory developed blood flow analysis software was used.
resultsThe increases in the peak volume flow during IPC were 49% (±24%) and 25% (±29%) with the conventional protocol and the new protocol, respectively, whereas the total volume flow (TVF) was not significantly changed (-1.0% and -13.0%, respectively). With the new protocol, the peak velocity (PV) was 49% lower than that with the conventional protocol. Thus, the new protocol has an effect of maintaining TVF without resulting in a sudden large increase or decrease in PV.
conclusionThe new suggested protocol might improve safety because it can maintain the stability of blood flow by reducing the risk of blood stasis and a rapid change in blood flow.
