The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundPost-occlusive reactive hyperemia (PORH) test with signal spectral analysis coupled provides potential indicators for the assessment of microvascular functions.
objectiveThe objective of this study is to investigate the variations of skin blood flow and temperature spectra in the PORH test. Furthermore, to quantify the oscillation amplitude response to occlusion within different frequency ranges. MATERIALS AND
methodsTen healthy volunteers participated in the PORH test and their hand skin temperature and blood flow images were captured by infrared thermography (IRT) and laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) system, respectively. Extracted signals from selected areas were then transformed into the time-frequency space by continuous wavelet transform for cross-correlation analysis and oscillation amplitude response comparisons.
resultsThe LSCI and IRT signals extracted from fingertips showed stronger hyperemia response and larger oscillation amplitude compared with other areas, and their spectral cross-correlations decreased with frequency. According to statistical analysis, their oscillation amplitudes in the PORH stage were obviously larger than the baseline stage within endothelial, neurogenic, and myogenic frequency ranges (p < 0.05), and their quantitative indicators of oscillation amplitude response had high linear correlations within endothelial and neurogenic frequency ranges.
conclusionComparisons of IRT and LSCI techniques in recording the reaction to the PORH test were made in both temporal and spectral domains. The larger oscillation amplitudes suggested enhanced endothelial, neurogenic, and myogenic activities in the PORH test. We hope this study is also significant for investigations of response to the PORH test by other non-invasive techniques.
