Prediction of Hemodynamic Reactivity by Electroencephalographically Derived Pain Threshold Index in Children Undergoing General Anesthesia: A Prospective Observational Study.
Article in Journal of pain research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07713355 (Impact of Multimodal Brain Monitoring Under General Anesthesia on Postoperative Outcomes in Elderly Patients Undergoing Major Abdominal Surgery), which is not on this map.

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.
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.

Abstract
purposeThe pain threshold index (PTI) is a novel measure of nociception based on integrated electroencephalogram parameters during general anesthesia. The wavelet index (WLI) reflects the depth of sedation. This study aims to evaluate the ability of the PTI and WLI to predict hemodynamic reactivity after tracheal intubation and skin incision in pediatric patients. PATIENTS AND
methodsPediatric patients (n=134) undergoing elective general surgery or urinary surgery were analyzed. Measurements at predefined time-points during tracheal intubation and skin incision included the PTI, WLI, heart rate (HR), and mean blood pressure (MBP). Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves were computed to evaluate the predictive performance of the PTI and WLI in measuring hemodynamic reactivity (an increase of more than 20% in either MBP or HR) during general anesthesia.
resultsOf the 134 patients evaluated, positive reactivity of HR and MBP was observed in 95 (70.9%) and 61 (45.5%) patients induced by intubation, respectively, and 19 (14.2%) and 24 (17.9%) patients induced by skin incision, respectively. Using either HR or MBP reactivity induced by intubation as a dichotomous variable, the areas under the curves (AUCs) [95% CI] of PTI and WLI were 0.81[0.73-0.87] and 0.58[0.49-0.67] with the best cutoff values of 62 and 49. The AUCs [95% CI] of PTI and WLI were 0.82[0.75-0.88] and 0.61[0.52-0.69] after skin incision. The best cutoff values of PTI and WLI were 60 and 46, respectively.
conclusionThe PTI can predict hemodynamic reactivity with the best cutoff values of 62 and 60 after tracheal intubation and skin incision in pediatric patients during general anesthesia. The WLI failed in predicting hemodynamic changes.
