Acousto-Optic Cerebral Blood Flow Monitoring During Induction of Anesthesia in Humans.
Article in Neurocritical care, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
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
backgroundPast transcranial Doppler (TCD) studies have documented the effects of the sequence of anesthesia induction followed by intubation on cerebral blood flow (CBF) velocity. The purpose of this study was to determine whether acousto-optic CBF monitoring would detect changes in CBF which are known to occur with propofol and subsequent endotracheal intubation.
methodsSeventy-two patients scheduled for elective non-intracranial surgery were evaluated. A Cerox 3215F (Ornim Medical) acousto-optic CBF monitor was used. The acousto-optic transducers were applied bifrontally prior to induction. Baseline cerebral flow index (CFI) values were obtained for at least 2 min prior to induction, set to a unitless value of 100. Subsequent relative changes in CFI from baseline were determined at the lowest value over 3 min after propofol injection but before laryngoscopy; and the highest value over 5 min after the start of laryngoscopy. CFI data were evaluated using Friedman's test.
resultsThe median dose of propofol [interquartile range] given was 200 mg [160-250]. CFI decreased to 84 % of baseline after propofol and increased to 147 % of baseline after endotracheal intubation (both p < 0.001); MAP decreased after intravenous induction of anesthesia from 103 ± 15 to 86 ± 15 mmHg (p < 0.001) and then returned following endotracheal intubation to 104 ± 20 mmHg.
conclusionsOur data are congruent with previous observations made with TCD under similar experimental conditions. Such observations support the notion that acousto-optic monitoring yields valid real-time measures of changes in CBF in humans. Further validation against other quantitative measures of CBF would be appropriate.
