Remote ischemic postconditioning increased cerebral blood flow and oxygenation assessed by magnetic resonance imaging in newborn piglets after hypoxia-ischemia.

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
Background: We have previously investigated neurological outcomes following remote ischemic postconditioning (RIPC) in a newborn piglet model of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. The aim of this study was to further investigate potential mechanisms of neuroprotection by comparing newborn piglets subjected to global hypoxia-ischemia (HI) treated with and without RIPC with regards to measures of cerebral blood flow and oxygenation assessed by functional magnetic resonance imaging. Materials and methods: A total of 50 piglets were subjected to 45 min global HI and randomized to either no treatment or RIPC treatment. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed 72 h after the HI insult with perfusion-weighted (arterial spin labeling, ASL) and oxygenation-weighted (blood-oxygen-level-dependent, BOLD) sequences in the whole brain, basal ganglia, thalamus, and cortex. Four sham animals received anesthesia and mechanical ventilation only. Results: Piglets treated with RIPC had higher measures of cerebral blood flow in all regions of interest and the whole brain (mean difference: 2.6 ml/100 g/min, 95% CI: 0.1; 5.2) compared with the untreated controls. They also had higher BOLD values in the basal ganglia and the whole brain (mean difference: 4.2 T2*, 95% CI: 0.4; 7.9). Measures were similar between piglets treated with RIPC and sham animals. Conclusion: Piglets treated with RIPC had higher measures of cerebral blood flow and oxygenation assessed by magnetic resonance imaging in the whole brain and several regions of interest compared with untreated controls 72 h after the HI insult. Whether this reflects a potential neuroprotective mechanism of RIPC requires further study.
