Conclusions from an Observational Study of Patients with Vascular Diseases Using the FMSF Technique.
Observational study in Vascular health and risk management, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Purpose: There is great demand for a diagnostic tool for non-invasive assessment of vascular circulation and metabolic regulation. Assessing both these functions is crucial, as each can have a distinct response to hypoxia. Patients and Methods: The Flow Mediated Skin Fluorescence (FMSF) technique appears uniquely suitable for analysis of vascular circulation and metabolic regulation. In this observational study, the FMSF technique was used to diagnose patients with various vascular diseases. The study group consisted of 482 patients (264 females and 218 males) between the ages of 40-94 years with various vascular problems (arterial hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and chronic venous disease). Results: Three major FMSF parameters were used: Ischemic Response (IR Conclusion: Females were metabolically less adaptive to transient hypoxia than males. However, macrocirculatory function was better in females than among males. Microcirculatory function decreases gradually with age, while macrocirculatory function decreases much more slowly with age, with a tendency to stabilize after 70 years of age.
