Feasibility of Portable Laser Doppler Flowmeter for Foot Blood Flow Assessment in Patients With Chronic Limb Threatening Ischaemia.
Article in EJVES vascular forum, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objective: The portable, non-invasive laser Doppler flowmeter (LDF) provides a practical alternative, enabling bedside blood flow assessment for chronic limb threatening ischaemia (CLTI). The present study aimed to evaluate whether LDF could identify CLTI and to assess the utility of LDF in determining the efficacy of revascularisation. Methods: The study enrolled 50 patients with non-lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) and 24 patients with CLTI (25 limbs) from March 2021 to December 2024; blood flow in the dorsal and plantar areas was measured using a portable LDF (Pocket LDF, JMS Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). Blood flow and skin perfusion pressure (SPP) were compared before and after surgical bypass, and correlations between LDF and SPP were also determined for 17 limbs with CLTI. Results: The mean dorsal plantar blood flow was 12.0 ± 9.3 and 13.3 ± 6.6 mL/min for the non-LEAD and CLTI groups, respectively ( Conclusion: The portable LDF measurement in the plantar area may help in identifying CLTI and evaluating the effectiveness of revascularisation.
