Article in Turkish journal of anaesthesiology and reanimation, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07517146 (Comparison of the Effects of Desflurane-Remifentanyl and Propofol-Remifentanyl Anesthesia on Intraoperative Cerebral Oxygenation and Postoperative Complications in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

objectiveThe commonly performed sitting position with head extended during thyroidectomy has been shown to cause adverse effects on cerebral regional oxygen saturation (CrSO2). Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effects of two well-known anaesthetic agents, desflurane and sevoflurane, on CrSO2 in patients undergoing thyroidectomy in the semi-sitting position by near-infra-red spectroscopy monitoring.

methodsThe study included 60 patients aged 18-65 years, with an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification score I-III, who underwent elective thyroidectomy in the semi-sitting position. The patients were randomly divided into two groups, depending on the anaesthetic agent administered: (1) sevoflurane group (Group S; n=30) and (2) desflurane group (Group D; n=30). After intubation, the patients were placed in a 45-degree semi-sitting position. Vital signs and the CrSO2 levels in both hemispheres were recorded both pre-induction and at the induction minute 1, post-intubation, post-positioning, every 5 minutes intraoperatively and in the case of sudden changes.

resultsNo significant difference was found between the groups in terms of age, height, body weight, the ASA score, operative time and left- and right-hemisphere CrSO2 (p>0.05). Moreover, the two groups were statistically similar to each other with regard to peripheral capillary oxygen saturation, heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean artery pressure and end-tidal CO

conclusionDesflurane and sevoflurane had similar effects in the preservation of CrSO2 in patients undergoing thyroidectomy in the semi-sitting position.
