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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo explore the microcirculation formation mechanism of contrast-enhanced (CE) ultrasonography imaging performance in rabbits with limb muscle crush injury.

methodsSeventy-two New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into two groups. A limb muscle crush injury model was created by airing a balloon cuff device with a force of 40 kpa. CE ultrasonography parameters were detected in the first group. In vivo microcirculation parameters were detected in the second group. Fine blood vessel diameter and blood flow velocity were calculated before extrusion and 0.5, 2, 6, 24 h, and 3 days after decompression.

resultsCompared with the uninjured muscle, reperfusion of the injured muscles showed early and high enhancement in CE ultrasonography images. The time-intensity curve showed a trend of rapid elevation and gradual drop. Compared with the control group, fine artery and vein diameters in the experimental group were wider and the blood flow velocity was slower, especially in the fine veins.

conclusionIn vivo microcirculation detection can reflect changes in muscle microvascular diameter and blood flow velocity, which have a correlation with quantitative ultrasound imaging parameters.
