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

[Purpose] Lymphedema is a chronic, progressive disorder impairing function and quality of life. Although complete decongestive therapy (CDT) is standard, optimal regulation of physical activity during CDT is unclear. This case report evaluated the feasibility of wearable device use during intensive CDT. [Participant and Methods] A 78-year-old woman with bilateral lower limb lymphedema after cervical cancer surgery and radiotherapy underwent a 2-week inpatient CDT program. Assessments included limb circumference, Timed Up and Go test (TUG), skin mechanical properties (Cutometer
