Can entropy predict neurologic complications after cardiac surgery?
Article in Saudi journal of anaesthesia. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Electroencephalography can detect both cerebral ischemia/hypoxia and seizures and can measure hypnotic effects. The author reported two patients with left main coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction scheduled for urgent coronary artery bypass grafting surgery; they developed abrupt decreases in response entropy (RE) and state entropy (SE) values to isoelectric silence during target-controlled propofol-sufentanil anesthesia. After that, low RE and SE values persisted throughout the intraoperative period. Both patients showed delayed awakening after surgery and brain CT revealed nonhemorrhagic tempro-parietal cerebral infarctions. Intraoperative entropy-based monitoring could predict poor neurological outcome after cardiac surgery during target-controlled propofol and sufentanil anesthesia.
