Can Blood Flow be Used to Monitor Changes in Peripheral Vascular Function That Occur in Response to Segmental Vibration Exposure?
Article in Journal of occupational and environmental medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectivesLaser Doppler blood flow measurements have been used for diagnosis or detection of peripheral vascular dysfunction. This study used a rat tail model of vibration-induced vascular injury to determine how laser Doppler measurements were affected by acute and repeated exposures to vibration, and to identify changes in the Doppler signal that were associated with the exposure.
methodsBlood flow was measured immediately after a single exposure to vibration, or before vibration exposure on days 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20 of a 20 days exposure.
resultsAfter a single exposure to vibration, average tail blood flow was reduced. With 20 days of exposure, there was a reduction in the amplitude of the arterial pulse on days 10 to 20 in vibrated rats and days 15 to 20 in control rats.
conclusionsMore detailed statistical analyses of laser Doppler data may be needed to identify early changes in peripheral circulation after exposure to vibration.
