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

Several animal studies have demonstrated that most routinely used general anesthetics induce widespread neuroapoptosis and long-term neurocognitive impairment in the immature brain. These findings have generated great interest among pediatric anesthesiologists and other practitioners regarding the safe use of general anesthetics in pediatric patients. Several human retrospective studies failed to confirm whether or not anesthesia exposure during the crucial phase of brain development induces long-term neurocognitive deficits in humans. Since the clinical relevance of the results of general anesthesia in animal experiments is unknown, it is unreasonable to directly utilize the results derived from animals and retrospective human surveys to guide clinical practice at the present time. Clearly, additional prospective randomized controlled trials are needed in humans to determine the effects of general anesthesia on neurodevelopment. In this review, we summarize currently available laboratory and clinical evidence for anesthetic neurotoxicity. Furthermore, we discuss the implications of these results for clinical anesthesia.
