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

Background: Lower limbs edema is one of the common problems in late pregnancy. This study aimed to determine the effect of modified Berger-Allen exercises on lower limb swelling in late pregnancy. Materials and Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 105 pregnant women suffering from lower limbs edema. Samples were randomly placed in three groups: modified Buerger-Allen exercises for five days, modified Buerger-Allen exercises for ten days, and the control group. Foot circumferences and volume and pain were measured before and after the study. Results: There was a significant difference between the average of right and left ankle circumference, right and left heel circumference, right and left foot circumference, left foot volume and pain score after the 5-day intervention group ( Conclusion: Performing innovative modified Buerger-Allen exercises in pregnant women with lower limbs edema may reduce their pain and swelling. It can also reduce the leg areas in pregnant women with lower limb edema in late pregnancy. Trial registration: Approval number from Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials: IRCT20200713048096N1 (Registration date: 2020-11-12).
