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

backgroundPerioperative interventions, targeted to increase global blood flow defined by explicit measured goals, reduce postoperative complications. Consequently, reliable non-invasive estimation of the cardiac output could have far-reaching benefit.

methodsThis study compared a non-invasive Doppler device - the ultrasonic cardiac output monitor (USCOM) - with the oesophageal Doppler monitor (ODM), on 25 patients during major abdominal surgery. Stroke volume was determined by USCOM (SV
