Differences between protocol and review

We considered venous refilling time to be a relevant variable and have added this as a primary outcome. We amended the review to allow for both ejection fraction and venous refilling time to be obtained using the same evaluation procedure (plethysmography).

We considered including studies investigating individuals with CVI and venous ulcers if data for the two ulcerated and non‐ulcerated groups were not analysed and presented separately provided participants with leg ulcers formed less than 25% of the total study population.

El uso y la enseñanza del modelo PICO están muy extendidos en el ámbito de la atención sanitaria basada en la evidencia para formular preguntas y estrategias de búsqueda y para caracterizar estudios o metanálisis clínicos. PICO son las siglas en inglés de cuatro posibles componentes de una pregunta de investigación: paciente, población o problema; intervención; comparación; desenlace (outcome).

Incidence of venous leg ulcer3

see footnote3

*The risk in the intervention group (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI)
CI: Confidence interval; RCT: randomised controlled trial

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: We are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect
Moderate quality: We are moderately confident in the effect estimate: The true effect is likely to be close to the estimate of the effect, but there is a possibility that it is substantially different
Low quality: Our confidence in the effect estimate is limited: The true effect may be substantially different from the estimate of the effect
Very low quality: We have very little confidence in the effect estimate: The true effect is likely to be substantially different from the estimate of effect

1 unable to pool data because data were collected using different tools
2 downgraded by three levels: presented overall high risk of bias because at least one of the three key criteria (randomisation sequence, allocation concealment and blinded outcome assessment) was at high risk, and it was not possible to verify inconsistency and publication bias because only one study reported on this outcome
3 data were not reported in the two included studies
