Physiological parameters and the use of compression stockings in individuals with spinal cord injuries: a scoping review.
Article in Spinal cord, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
STUDY
designScoping review.
objectiveTo summarize information on the physiological effects of compression stockings (CS) in individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCI) and suggest areas for future research.
methodsWe asked, "What are the physiological effects of CS use in individuals with SCI?" Original studies of patients with SCI regardless of sex and age that focused on SCI and CS were included. Five biomedical databases were searched. Studies were selected by three researchers in two stages, starting with an abstract and title screening and continuing with a full text review for application of the inclusion and exclusion criteria. A narrative synthesis was then performed.
resultsAn initial search yielded 283 titles, of which five met the inclusion criteria and were subjected to the full text review. Among them, there were 78 individuals with SCI. The studies found that the use of CS at rest reduced deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and vascular capacitance but increased systolic blood pressure and norepinephrine level., three studies tested the use of CS During exercise; one found that time of the last lap in a standard court test was negatively affected; however, the greatest benefits were observed after exercises, such as reduced blood lactate level, improved autonomic function, and increased blood flow to the upper limbs.
conclusionWe conclude that future research should examine the physiological effects and relationship of CS with: (a) pharmacological interventions, (b) body position changes, (c) physical fitness level, (d) wheelchair use duration, (e) exercise-induced thermal stress, (f) thermal stress mitigation, and (g) edema reduction.
