Brainstem auditory evoked potentials during procaine toxicity in dogs.

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
Although the toxic effect of local anaesthetics on the activity of cerebral cortex has been extensively studied, little is known about their toxic effect on brainstem. Accordingly, the influence of procaine on brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) and on the electroencephalogram (EEG) was observed in 15 dogs. After the administration of procaine (15 mg.kg-1, i.v.), the amplitudes of wave I (1.88 +/- 0.56 vs 2.06 +/- 0.61 microV, mean +/- SD) and wave II (1.91 +/- 0.41 vs 2.06 +/- 0.46 microV) in BAEPs increased (P less than 0.05), while the amplitudes of wave III (0.97 +/- 0.27 vs 0.81 +/- 0.24 microV), wave IV (1.15 +/- 0.43 vs 0.85 +/- 0.29 microV) and wave V (1.04 +/- 0.46 vs 0.92 +/- 0.41 microV) were decreased (P less than 0.05), and both the I-III inter-peak latency (1.57 +/- 0.04 vs 1.70 +/- 0.07 msec) and III-V inter-peak latency (2.15 +/- 0.09 vs 2.35 +/- 0.12 msec) were prolonged (P less than 0.01). The EEG changed from an awake pattern to seizure activity. These results suggest that the electrical activity of the brainstem auditory pathway is suppressed even when the cerebral cortex is in an excitatory state at the convulsive stage of procaine toxicity.
