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

objectivesDetecting instantaneous stroke volume change in response to altered cardiac preload is the physiologic foundation for determining preload responsiveness.

designProof-of-concept physiology study.

settingResearch simulation laboratory. SUBJECTS: Twelve healthy volunteers.

interventionsA wireless continuous wave Doppler ultrasound patch was used to measure carotid velocity time integral and carotid corrected flow time during a squat maneuver. The Doppler patch measurements were compared with simultaneous stroke volume measurements obtained from a noninvasive cardiac output monitor. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN

resultsFrom stand to squat, stroke volume increased by 24% while carotid velocity time integral and carotid corrected flow time increased by 32% and 9%, respectively. From squat to stand, stroke volume decreased by 13%, while carotid velocity time integral and carotid corrected flow time decreased by 24% and 10%, respectively. Both changes in carotid velocity time integral and corrected flow time were closely correlated with changes in stroke volume (

conclusionsIn healthy volunteers, both carotid velocity time integral and carotid corrected flow time measured by a wireless Doppler patch were useful to track changes in stroke volume induced by a preload-modifying maneuver with high sensitivity and specificity.
