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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the change in capillary blood volume in the muscles of the lower limbs, before and after exercise, using intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM). MATERIALS AND

methodsDiffusion-weighted images were obtained (with 16 b values) from the thigh and leg muscles of 11 subjects. The imaging was obtained before and immediately exercise; additionally, imaging was performed at 3 h, 6 h, and 24 h after exercise, and an IVIM index was calculated. The exercise involved walking up and down a flight of stairs (140 steps) ten times. The IVIM of each time course-before and after the exercise-was compared. In addition, we examined the correlation of IVIM measurements with the degree of the muscle ache that occurred at 24 h following the exercise.

resultsThe IVIM index significantly increased after exercise compared with that before exercise (P < 0.01). IVIM decreased at 3 h following exercise, but increased again at 24 h. A correlation was found between the IVIM index at 24 h after exercise and the degree of the muscle ache (r = 0.80)

conclusionsThe capillary blood volume significantly increased after exercise when compared to before exercise. The capillary blood volume decreased after exercise at 3 h and 6 h following exercise, but it increased again at 24 h. There was a correlation between the degree of muscle ache and the amount of capillary blood volume measured from the femoral muscle at 24 h after exercise.
