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

The heart and brain are constantly interacting under normal physiological conditions. This interaction is under the control of the autonomic nervous system with parasympathetic and sympathetic nerve fibers including the participating brain structures. Pathological conditions, such as epilepsy and ischemic cerebral stroke influence heart function, especially the frequency and may result in severe arrhythmia. An asymmetric influence of the left and right brain hemispheres on the heart rate is still under debate. Conversely, the influence of the heart in cases of acute cardiac arrest on brain function is equally relevant and a common clinical problem after resuscitation. We review the damaging cascade of global cerebral hypoxia and the value of different diagnostic procedures as well as the ethical problem of the point in time of termination of consciousness and the instruments for estimating the prognosis.
