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.

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.

Abstract

Pulsed Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm) is a recent modality that is used for the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders, but there is no evidence about its thermal effects. The aim of the study was to investigate the changes in local skin temperature (LST) after the application of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser to healthy subjects. The study participants were 30 male subjects with an average age of 21.96 (± 0.92) years. A rectangular area (15 × 10 cm
