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

There is growing acceptance within the medical community of induced (therapeutic) hypothermia as a tool to achieve neuroprotection and/or cardioprotection. Although much work remains to be done in identifying those clinical situations in which hypothermia can be effective, there is now sufficient evidence to regard it as a standard of care, at least for some indications such as selected patients with postanoxic encephalopathy. Thus, attention is now partly shifting from assessment of the clinical evidence of efficacy to technical and implementation issues. This review provides a list of criteria by which cooling devices can be judged, and specifically it discusses one of the new cooling devices: the Alsius CoolGard 3000 device and CoolLine catheter. General aspects and advantages/disadvantages of surface versus core cooling are discussed, as are potential side effects, device-specific pros and cons, and cost-effectiveness issues. In addition, the current state of the evidence for use of induced hypothermia for various indications is briefly reviewed.
