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

backgroundStress-induced neuroendocrine and metabolic changes lead to intraoperative hyperglycemia which is related to surgery and the type of intravenous fluids used.

aimsThe primary objective was to assess the incidence of hyperglycemia with use of lactate versus acetate-based intravenous fluids in nondiabetics undergoing major surgeries. Incidence of lactatemia and metabolic acidosis were also assessed. SETTINGS AND

designProspective parallel group observational study conducted in a tertiary care institute. SUBJECTS AND

methodsA total of 208 nondiabetic patients undergoing major head and neck free flap or abdominal surgeries were included in the study. Group A received Ringer lactate, and Group B received Ringer acetate as intraoperative maintenance fluid. Intraoperative blood sugar, pH, and lactate levels were monitored. STATISTICAL TESTS USED: Chi-square test and independent "t" test were used for analysis.

resultsIntraoperative hyperglycemia was more frequent in Group A than B (17.3 vs. 18.4%). Group B patients undergoing gastrointestinal (GI) surgeries showed higher blood glucose at 2, 4, 6, and 8 h when compared to flap surgeries. In Group A, significantly higher blood sugar values were noted at 2 and 8 h in those undergoing GI surgeries. Group B patients undergoing GI surgeries had significantly higher lactate levels at 6 and 8 h. Group B patients had significant acidosis when surgeries lasted >6 h.

conclusionNondiabetic patients undergoing major abdominal surgeries who received acetate-based fluids had relatively higher intraoperative blood sugar levels as compared to those receiving lactated solutions, but the incidence of hyperglycemia was comparable. When the duration of surgery exceeded 6 h, acetate-based solutions resulted in significantly higher lactate levels with progressive metabolic acidosis.
