[ASA classification : Transition in the course of time and depiction in the literature].
Review in Der Anaesthesist, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 40 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The American Society of Anesthesiologists classification of physical status (ASA PS) is a widely used system for categorizing the preoperative status of patients. The ASA class is a good independent predictor of perioperative morbidity and mortality. The definitions of the ASA classes have been amended several times since 1941, resulting in inconsistent and confusing usage in the current literature. Conflicting definitions of ASA PS exist, particularly for classes III, IV and V. The high variability of individual classifications by different anesthesiologist, however, can be explained by the previous lack of examples for diagnoses. In 2014, the ASA has added a catalogue of examples for a simplified definition for classification of the ASA PS. This has so far received limited attention in German-speaking countries. This article describes the transition of the ASA classification over the past 75 years und summarizes the currently valid definitions.
