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

To enable automated maintenance of patient sedation in an intensive care unit (ICU) setting, more robust, quantitative metrics of sedation depth must be developed. In this study, we demonstrated the feasibility of a fully computational system that leverages low-quality electrocardiography (ECG) from a single lead to detect the presence of benzodiazepine sedatives in a subject's system. Starting with features commonly examined manually by cardiologists searching for evidence of poisonings, we generalized the extraction of these features to a fully automated process. We tested the predictive power of these features using nine subjects from an intensive care clinical database. Features were found to be significantly indicative of a binary relationship between dose and ECG morphology, but we were unable to find evidence of a predictable continuous relationship. Fitting this binary relationship to a classifier, we achieved a sensitivity of 89% and a specificity of 95%.
