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

Study Design: Single subject design with five subjects. Objectives: The objetive of this study is to compare the effectiveness and usability of alternative commercial abdominal compression garments with participants' usual medical binders. Setting: Private residences in Pierce and King Counties, WA, USA. Methods: Participants wore each garment for 5 days followed by a 2-day washout in personal binder. Week 1: Personal binder. Weeks 2 and 3: Randomly ordered test garments (tank, bodysuit). Physiologic measurements: blood pressure (SBP, DBP), blood oxygen saturation (SaO Results: The use of a personal binder results in significant increases in SBP and FEV Conclusions: Abdominal compression improves respiratory function and supports SBP in individuals with chronic SCI. Further research is needed to guide the development of an easy-to-use and physiologically supportive abdominal compression garment.
