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

Thrombosis and restenosis after vascular reconstruction procedures may cause complications such as stroke, but a clinical means to continuously monitor vascular conditions is lacking. Conventional ultrasound probes are rigid, particularly for postoperative patients with fragile skin. Techniques based on photoplethysmography or thermal analysis provide only relative changes in flow volume and have a shallow detection depth. Here, we introduce a flexible Doppler ultrasound device for the continuous monitoring of the absolute velocity of blood flow in deeply embedded arteries based on the Doppler effect. The device is thin (1 mm), lightweight (0.75 g), and skin conforming. When the dual-beam Doppler method is used, the influence of the Doppler angle on the velocity measurement is avoided. Experimental studies on ultrasound phantoms and human subjects demonstrate accurate measurement of the flow velocity. The wearable Doppler device has the potential to enhance the quality of care of patients after reconstruction surgery.
