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.

Abstract

Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) is commonly used to improve peripheral circulation of the lower extremity. However, its therapeutic dosage for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) at risk for ulcers is not well established. This study explored the effect of IPC with different inflation pressures on the distal microvascular responses of the foot in people with type 2 DM. Twenty-four subjects with and without DM were recruited. Three IPC protocols with inflation pressures of 60, 90, and 120 mmHg were applied to the foot. The foot skin blood flow (SBF) responses were measured by laser Doppler flowmetry during and after IPC interventions. Results show that all three IPC interventions significantly increased foot SBF of IPC stage in healthy subjects, but only 90 and 120 mmHg IPC significantly improved SBF in diabetic subjects. IPC with 90 and 120 mmHg showed a greater effect than 60 mmHg in both groups, but 120 mmHg IPC was more effective for diabetic subjects. This study demonstrates that 90 and 120 mmHg are effective dosages of IPC for improving blood flow in healthy people, and 120 mmHg IPC may be more suitable for people with type 2 DM.
