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

purposeHypotensive bradycardic events (HBEs) occur in 5-28% of patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery in the sitting position after an interscalene brachial plexus block (ISBPB). The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of the sitting position following ISBPB on heart rate variability (HRV).

methodsIn this prospective case-control study, we evaluated 64 patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery under ISBPB and 49 nonsurgical control subjects. HRV power spectral analysis parameters were measured (and natural log-transformed) before ISBPB and after changing to the sitting position. The patients experiencing HBEs were assigned to the HBE group, and the remaining patients were assigned to the non-HBE group.

resultsHBEs developed in 18 patients (28.1%). Changing from the supine position to the sitting position after ISBPB did not induce a significant increase in the natural log-transformed ratio of low-frequency to high-frequency power (lnLF/HF). A significant decrease in natural log-transformed high-frequency power (lnHF) was observed compared to the control group, who presented a significant increase in lnLF/HF and an insignificant change in lnHF. lnHF was found to be significantly higher in the HBE group compared to the non-HBE group.

conclusionsSustained vagal activity with a failed shift in the sympathovagal balance toward sympathetic predominance in response to sitting after ISBPB is associated with the development of HBE.
