The Immediate Effect of Exercising in a Virtual Reality Treadmill (C-Mill) on Skin Temperature of a Man with Lower Limb Amputation.
Article in Case reports in vascular medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
Background: In amputees, exercising can impact the distribution of body temperature. The aim of this case report is to verify the acute effect of exercising in C-Mill on the temperature distribution in the lower limbs of a man with unilateral transfemoral amputation. Materials and Methods: The thigh and legs of a man with left distal transfemoral amputation were evaluated by thermography (infrared sensor FLIR T650sc) before and after a single 30-minute exercise session performed in a virtual reality treadmill device (C-Mill). Results: The thermographic evaluation showed a difference in temperature between the thighs both before and after the intervention. However, there was a decrease in asymmetry, which went from 4.0°C to 3.1°C in the anterior view and from 5.3°C to 2.9°C in the posterior view, after the intervention. Conclusion: Thermography allowed us to assess the difference in temperature in the lower limbs. Even though the temperature discrepancy has decreased after the single exercise session using the C-Mill, this difference persisted.
