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

To date, the commonly used intravenous anesthetic propofol has been widely studied, and fundamental pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic characteristics of the drug are known. However, propofol has not yet been quantified in vivo in the target organ, the human brain. Here, cerebral microdialysis offers the unique opportunity to sample propofol in the living human organism. Therefore, a highly sensitive analytical method for propofol quantitation in small sample volumes of 30 μL, based on direct immersion solid-phase microextraction was developed. Preconcentration was followed by gas chromatographic separation and mass spectrometric detection of the compound. This optimized method provided a linear range between the lower limit of detection (50 ng/L) and 200 μg/L. Matrix-matched calibration was used to compensate recovery issues. A precision of 2.7% relative standard deviation between five consecutive measurements and an interday precision of 6.4% relative standard deviation could be achieved. Furthermore, the permeability of propofol through a cerebral microdialysate system was tested. In summary, the developed method to analyze cerebral microdialysate samples, allows the in vivo quantitation of propofol in the living human brain. Additionally the calculation of extracellular fluid levels is enabled since the recovery of the cerebral microdialysis regarding propofol was determined.
