Using EEG to monitor anesthesia drug effects during surgery.
Review in Journal of clinical monitoring and computing, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 papers.
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
The use of processed electroencephalography (EEG) using a simple frontal lead system has been made available for assessing the impact of anesthetic medications during surgery. This review discusses the basic principles behind these devices. The foundations of anesthesia monitoring rest on the observations of Guedel with ether that the depth of anesthesia relates to the cortical, brainstem and spinal effects of the anesthetic agents. Anesthesiologists strive to have a patient who is immobile, is unconscious, is hemodynamically stable and who has no intraoperative awareness or recall. These anesthetic management principles apply today, despite the absence of ether from the available anesthetic medications. The use of the EEG as a supplement to the usual monitoring techniques rests on the observation that anesthetic medications all alter the synaptic function which produces the EEG. Frontal EEG can be viewed as a surrogate for the drug effects on the entire central nervous system (CNS). Using mathematical processing techniques, commercial EEG devices create an index usually between 0 and 100 to characterize this drug effect. Critical aspects of memory formation occur in the frontal lobes making EEG monitoring in this area a possible method to assess risk of recall. Integration of processed EEG monitoring into anesthetic management is evolving and its ability to characterize all of the anesthetic effects on the CNS (in particular awareness and recall) and improve decision making is under study.
