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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of the CeVOX monitor measuring continuous central venous saturation (ScvO(2)) with laboratory blood gas oximetry under clinical circumstances.

designProspective, multicentre, observational study.

settingFive adult general intensive care units. PATIENTS AND

participantsFifty-three critically ill patients.

interventionsThe fibre-optic probe was inserted into an ordinary central venous catheter's distal lumen. Blood samples were taken from this line via a Y-adapter every 8 h and ScvO(2) was measured with a laboratory co-oximeter. Patients were observed for a maximum of 5 days. Results were compared using linear regression and the Bland and Altman plots. MEASUREMENTS AND

resultsThe 526 matched pairs of ScvO(2) showed a significant correlation between the two methods (r = 0.79, p< 0.001). Bland-Altman plots showed an overall mean bias of -0.3% and moderate agreement (lower and upper levels of agreement: -13.2% and 12.5%). Correlation for the first time point, and for differences between the first two time points for each method revealed good correlation: (n = 53): r = 0.79, p< 0.001; (n = 50): r = 0.58, p< 0.001, respectively.

conclusionThese results in a heterogeneous group of critically ill patients show that continuous ScvO(2) monitoring by the CeVOX technology yielded results comparable with those obtained by laboratory co-oximetry and therefore can be relied on in everyday clinical practice.
