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

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a well-known biophysical therapy that offers several beneficial effects, including a presumed increase in the growth of blood vessels. The chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay is a well-established in vivo model for studying angiogenesis. The aim of this study was to develop an experimental setup to apply ESWT to CAM in a three-step process and investigate the vascular response. First, we conducted virtual simulations of various shock-wave application setups to CAM and subsequently tested them in preliminary studies to evaluate their feasibility. In the final stage, we employed the most suitable protocol to investigate the angiogenic effects of shock wave therapy in practical applications. Our findings suggest that ESWT increases the number of vessels in CAM. In the final biological experiment (
