Goal-directed fluid therapy based on stroke volume variations improves fluid management and gastrointestinal perfusion in patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery.
Trial report in Medical principles and practice : international journal of the Kuwait University, Health Science Centre, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03031600 (Pilot Validation of a Hemodilution Technique to Estimate Blood Volume in Vivo), which is not on this map. Cited by 32 papers, 10 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
The trial behind it

Abstract
objectiveTo evaluate the influence of stroke volume variation (SVV)-based goal-directed therapy (GDT) on splanchnic organ functions and postoperative complications in orthopedic patients. SUBJECTS AND
methodsEighty patients scheduled for major orthopedic surgery under general anesthesia were randomly allocated to one of two equal groups to receive either intraoperative volume therapy guided by SVV (GDT) or standard fluid management (control). In the SVV group, patients received colloid boluses of 4 ml/kg to maintain an SVV <10% when in the supine position or an SVV <14% if prone. In the control group, fluids were given to maintain a mean arterial pressure >65 mm Hg, a heart rate <100 bpm, a central venous pressure of 8-14 mm Hg, and a urine output >0.5 ml/kg/h. Intraoperative organ perfusion, hemodynamic data, hospitalization, postoperative complications, and mortality were recorded.
resultsThe heart rate at the end of surgery was significantly lower (p < 0.05), there were fewer hypotensive episodes (p < 0.05), the arterial and gastric intramucosal pH were higher (p < 0.05 for both), the gastric intramucosal PCO2 was lower (p < 0.05), the intraoperative infused colloids and the total infused volume were lower (p < 0.05 for both), and the postoperative time to flatus was shorter (p < 0.05) in the GDT group than in the control group. No differences in the length of hospital stay, complications, or mortality were found between the groups.
conclusionSVV-based GDT during major orthopedic surgery reduced the volume of the required intraoperative infused fluids, maintained intraoperative hemodynamic stability, and improved the perioperative gastrointestinal function.
