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

Anesthetic agent analyzers fail when drug from a HFA propelled pMDI is administered. Most anesthetic vapor analyzers use infrared absorption at 3.3 micron. At this wavelength, substance like methane has been reported to interfere with the accuracy of measurement of anesthetic vapor. The anesthetic gas monitor 1304 (Brüel and Kjaer) which functions at 10.3-13 micron wavelength was not affected by methane. Is it possible, HFA with its structural similarity to inhaled anesthetic agents may be responsible for faulty reading of anesthetic vapor concentration in two of our monitors? Further evidence is needed to support this finding. Anesthesiologists need to be ever vigilant and recognize the need for smarter designs of anesthetic agent analyzers with changing array of drugs administered during anesthetic management.
