Automated pneumatic tourniquet for hemorrhage control evaluated using an adaptive testing platform.
Article in Frontiers in medical technology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Hemorrhage remains a leading cause of preventable death in trauma situations with hemorrhage control being a critical first step to stabilizing injuries. Tourniquets are commonly used for this purpose, but they can adjust during transport leading to re-hemorrhage or tissue damage during prolonged use. Here, we explored control system approaches to automate tourniquet initial inflation and prolonged management. Different designs were compared and an approach was identified capable of hemorrhage control in under 40 s. Furthermore, automated control of the tourniquet successfully managed tourniquet loosening and overtightening situations that typical tourniquets could not manage. In summary, automated tourniquets have the potential to aid with hemorrhage control in early echelons of care while lessening the cognitive burden on limited medical personnel.
