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

objectiveWe investigated whether there are differences in autonomic cardiovascular regulation in resuscitated patients undergoing therapeutic hypothermia (TH) in relation to the clinical outcome.

methodBetween 2005 and 2007, 18 consecutive resuscitated patients were enrolled. ECG and blood pressure data were recorded for 48 h during hypothermia and warming up to a body core temperature of 36°C. Autonomic regulation was assessed by applying time, frequency, and non-linear dynamics domain methods from heart rate and blood pressure variability (HRV/BPV) analyses.

resultsNine patients survived with good neurological recovery, and nine patients died during the ICU stay. In both groups, we found a decreased HRV presented by standard deviation of R-R intervals (sdNN) below 50 ms(2) at each time of measurement. Immediately after recovery to a body core temperature of 36°C, a significant higher HRV was found in survivors compared to non-survivors by means of indices sdNN (40.2 ± 19.5 vs. 10.9 ± 4.1 ms(2), P = 0.01), R-R intervals distribution histogram [shannon] (3.7 ± 0.6 vs. 2.2 ± 0.4, P = 0.008), very low frequency band [VLF] (152.2 ± 99.3 vs. 3.4 ± 1.9, P = 0.001) and the variance of the time series of R-R intervals [Wsdvar] (1.16 ± 0.52 vs. 0.29 ± 0.25, P = 0.02) . A decreased spontaneous BPV was found only among survivors comparing blood pressure characteristics within stable hypothermia to the initial state before hypothermia.

conclusionResuscitated patients show a significantly reduced HRV before, during and after TH. Compared to survivors, the non-survivors show a further and significantly decrease of HRV immediately after hypothermia.
