Hemodynamics of the oral mucosa during cooling: A crossover clinical trial.

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
Objective: Oral cryotherapy is used to prevent the onset of oral mucositis, a common and debilitating adverse effect following cancer chemotherapy. A protective mechanism associated with oral cooling is thought to be mediated through reduced tissue microcirculation. The aim of the present study was to examine the underlying mechanism associated with oral mucosal cooling by measuring oral microcirculation and tissue oxygen saturation after cooling with ice chips (IC) and an intraoral cooling device (ICD). Study design: In a single-center randomized crossover study, 10 healthy volunteers were assigned (1:1) randomly to the order in which the two intraoral cooling procedures (IC/ICD) were to be commenced. On day 1, half of the study participants started with IC and then crossed over to intraoral cooling with the ICD on day 2, while the other half of the participants undertook the same two procedures in the reverse order. Total and functional capillary density (T/FCD) and tissue oxygen saturation (StO Results: Following 30 min of oral cooling, a statistically significant difference was found for FCD between IC and ICD (percentage points; +2 vs. -13; Conclusions: Both microcirculation parameters and tissue oxygen saturation are altered in conjunction with oral cooling, indicating their potential mechanistic contribution towards cryoprevention of oral mucositis.
