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

Cerebral blood flow is regulated over a range of systemic blood pressures through the cerebral autoregulation (CA) control mechanism. The COx measure based on near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been proposed as a suitable technique for the analysis of CA as it is non-invasive and provides a simpler acquisition methodology than other methods. The COx method relies on data binning and thresholding to determine the change between intact and impaired autoregulation zones. In the work reported here we have developed a novel method of differentiating the intact and impaired CA blood pressure regimes using clustering methods on unbinned data. K-means and Gaussian mixture model algorithms were used to analyse a porcine data set. The determination of the lower limit of autoregulation (LLA) was compared to a traditional binned data approach. Good agreement was found between the methods. The work highlights the potential application of using data clustering tools in the monitoring of CA function.
