Semiautomatic intermittent pneumatic compression device applied to deep vein thrombosis in major orthopedic surgery.
Article in Biomedical engineering online, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveTo investigate the effect of additional semiautomatic intermittent pneumatic compression device (IPCD) in the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of lower extremity in these patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery, when compared with the conventional graduated compression stockings alone.
methodsThe data of 112 patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery were retrospectively analyzed. 51 patients who ever received IPCD and graduated compression stockings during major orthopedic surgery were taken as the experimental group, and 61 patients who only received the conventional graduated compression stockings during surgery were taken as the observation group. The Doppler sonography was utilized to detect the presence of DVT and pulmonary embolism pre- and postoperatively. Besides, the mean and peak velocity of blood flow in femoral vein were recorded before and after surgery. And then, the comparisons between the two groups were made, respectively.
resultsWhen compared with the conventional graduated compression stockings alone, the intraoperative application of IPCD and stockings contributed the significant reduction of DVT (3.92%, 2/51 versus 9.84%, 6/61, X
conclusionsIntraoperative application of IPCD could promote blood circulation of lower limbs, and significantly decrease the incidence of potentially fatal DVT in patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery, when compared with the conventional graduated compression stockings.
