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

STUDY

objectiveTo evaluate the effect of ventilation strategy on markers of inflammation in patients undergoing spine surgery in the prone position.

designRandomized controlled trial.

settingUniversity-affiliated teaching hospital. PATIENTS: 26 ASA physical status 1 and 2 patients scheduled for elective primary lumbar decompression and fusion in the prone position.

interventionsPatients were randomized to receive mechanical ventilation with either a tidal volume (V(T)) of 12 mL/kg ideal body weight with zero positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) or V(T) of 6 mL/kg ideal body weight with PEEP of 8 cm H(2)O. MEASUREMENTS: Plasma levels of interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 were determined at the beginning of ventilation and at 6 and 12 hours later. Urinary levels of desmosine were determined at the beginning of ventilation and on postoperative days 1 and 3. MAIN

resultsA significant increase in IL-6, IL-8, and urine desmosine levels was noted over time compared with baseline (P < 0.01). However, no significant difference in the levels of markers was seen between the groups at any time point when controlling for demographics, ASA physical status, body mass index, duration of ventilation, or estimated blood loss.

conclusionsAlthough markers of inflammation are increased after posterior spine fusion surgery, ventilation strategy has minimal impact on markers of systemic inflammation.
