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

Isoflurane anesthesia alters the blood levels of several neuroendocrine hormones associated with normal metabolism and physiology and increases stress, but the effect of brief CO2 anesthesia on these parameters is unknown. In this study, we examined the effects of isoflurane (4%) compared with brief CO2 (70% CO2, 30% air) anesthesia on circadian rhythms of plasma measures of physiology and metabolism. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (Crl:SD; n = 6 per group) were maintained on a 12:12-h light:dark (300 lx; lights on, 0600) photoperiod. After 1 wk of acclimation, a series of 6 low-volume blood draws were collected by cardiocentesis under anesthesia using isoflurane (10 min or less) compared with CO2 (1 min or less) at a single circadian time point every 4 d (0400, 0800, 1200, 1600, 2000, or 2400) over 3 wk to assess arterial blood glucose, lactic acid, and potassium and plasma melatonin, leptin, insulin, total fatty acids, and corticosterone concentrations. Results revealed that plasma levels (mean ± SEM) of melatonin were low (11 ± 1 pg/mL) during the light phase in both groups but were significantly lower during the dark phase in the isoflurane group (48 ± 6 pg/mL) compared with the CO2 group (162 ± 18 pg/mL). In addition, prominent circadian rhythms of arterial plasma levels of corticosterone, glucose, total fatty acids, lactic acid, and potassium were altered in the isoflurane group compared with the CO2 group. These findings demonstrate that the normal circadian rhythms of endocrine physiology and metabolism observed during brief CO2 anesthesia in rats are markedly disrupted by isoflurane anesthesia.
