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

Auditory evoked potential (AEP) is an effective index for the effects of general anesthetics. However, it's unknown if AEP can differentiate the effects of general anesthetics on nerve fibers and synapses. Presently, we investigated AEP latency and amplitude changes to different acoustic intensities during pentobarbital anesthesia. Latency more regularly changed than amplitude during anesthesia. AEP Latency monotonically decreased with acoustic intensity increase (i.e., latency-intensity curve) and could be fitted to an exponential decay equation, which showed two components, the theoretical minimum latency and stimulus-dependent delay. From the latency-intensity curves, the changes of these two components (∆L and ∆I) were extracted during anesthesia. ∆L and ∆I monitored the effect of pentobarbital on nerve fibers and synapses. Pentobarbital can induce anesthesia, and two side effects, hypoxemia and hypothermia. The hypoxemia was not related with ∆L and ∆I. However, ∆L was changed by the hypothermia, whereas ∆I was changed by the hypothermia and anesthesia. Therefore, we conclude that, AEP latency is superior to amplitude for the effects of general anesthetics, ∆L monitors the effect of hypothermia on nerve fibers, and ∆I monitors a combined effect of anesthesia and hypothermia on synapses. When eliminating the temperature factor, ∆I monitors the anesthesia effect on synapses.
