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

backgroundFacial paralysis (FP) is a common symptom after stroke, which influences the quality of life and prognosis of patients. Recently, peripheral magnetic stimulation (PMS) shows potential effects on peripheral and central nervous system damage. However, the effect of PMS on FP after stroke is still unclear.

methodsIn this study, we applied PMS on the facial nerve of nine stroke patients with FP. At the same time, laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) was used to explore the facial skin blood flow (SkBF) in 19 healthy subjects and nine stroke patients with FP before and after the PMS intervention. The whole face was divided into 14 regions to compare the SkBF in different sub-areas.

resultsIn baseline SkBF, we found that there were no significant differences in the SkBF between the left and right faces in the healthy subjects. However, there was a significant difference in the SkBF between the affected and unaffected faces in Region 7 (Chin area,

conclusionsThese pilot results indicate that PMS intervention could increase facial skin blood flow in stroke patients with FP. A further randomized controlled trial can be performed to explore its possible clinical efficacy.
