Effects of spinal anesthesia on resting metabolic rate and quadriceps mechanomyography.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Previous work by our group has shown by mechanomyography (MMG) that resting muscle is mechanically active. Ten patients having spinal anesthesia for surgery, which paralyses muscle below the waist, were studied to help determine whether resting-muscle mechanical activity plays a significant role in resting metabolism, and to further determine if the phenomenon is neurally mediated. Resting metabolic rate (RMR) by indirect calorimetry, and mid-anterior thigh MMG by accelerometer, were recorded before and during spinal anesthesia. Spinal anesthesia produced a 25% decrease in oxygen uptake (mean +/- standard deviation: pre-spinal 228 +/- 76; during spinal 171 +/- 67 ml min(-1); P < 0.001) and 37% decrease in mean absolute MMG signal amplitude (pre-spinal-anesthetic 10.6 +/- 3.9; during spinal: 6.7 +/- 3.5 mm s(-2); P < 0.001). Decreased oxygen uptake in individuals correlated with decreased resting-muscle mechanical activity (R = 0.624; P = 0.05). Paralysis of muscle below the waist reduced RMR and resting-muscle mechanical activity.
