Effect of forearm compression sleeve on muscle fatigue during robotic surgery: a randomized controlled study.

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: The aim of the study was to investigate whether wearing a forearm compression sleeve during robotic surgery (RS) reduces muscle fatigue. Methods: A randomized controlled study of consecutive RS cases was performed with three right-handed surgeons randomly allocated to wear a non-graduated compression sleeve over either his right or left forearm. Hand-grip strength was assessed at the beginning and at the 2-hour mark during the robotic console component of surgery, using a handgrip dynamometer. The maximum strength (F Results: Thirty-two robotic cases were performed during the study period. Wearing of a compression sleeve (compared with no sleeve) on the left forearm resulted in an increase (rather than a decrease) in mean hand-grip strength after 2 hours of RS (0.5 kg increase vs. 1.3 kg decrease, Conclusion: There was a statistically significant reduction in muscle fatigue with wearing a forearm compression sleeve on the nondominant left forearm during RS.
