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

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has gained acceptance for cerebral monitoring, especially during cardiac surgery, though there are few data showing its validity. We therefore aimed to correlate invasive brain tissue oxygen measurements (PtiO2) with the corresponding NIRS-values (regional oxygen saturation, rSO2). We also studied whether NIRS was able to detect ischemic events, defined as a PtiO2-value of <15 mmHg. Eleven patients were studied with invasive brain tissue oxygen monitoring and continuous-wave NIRS. PtiO2-correlation with corresponding NIRS-values was calculated. We found no correlation between PtiO2- and NIRS-readings. Measurement of rSO2 was no better than flipping a coin in the detection of cerebral ischemia when a commonly agreed ischemic PtiO2 cut-off value of <15 mmHg was chosen. Continuous-wave-NIRS was unable to reliably detect ischemic cerebral episodes, defined as a PtiO2 value <15 mmHg. Displayed NIRS-values did not correlate with invasively measured PtiO2-values. CW-NIRS should not be used for the detection of cerebral ischemia.
