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

introductionWe aimed to study the immediate hemodynamic effects of thoracoscopic bilateral cardiac sympathetic denervation (CSD) for recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT) or VT storm.

methodWe studied a group of 18 adults who underwent bilateral thoracoscopic CSD; the blood pressure (BP) and Heart Rate (HR) were continuously monitored during the surgery and up to 6 h post-operatively.

resultsImmediately on removal of the sympathetic ganglia, the patients had a drop in both the systolic (110 mm Hg to 95.8 mm Hg, p < 0.001) and diastolic BP (69.4 mm Hg to65 mm Hg, p = 0.007) along with a drop in the HR (81.6 bpm to 61.2 bpm, p < 0.001).At 6 h after CSD, the systolic and diastolic BP did not recover significantly, while there was recovery in HR (61.2 bpm to 66 bpm, p = 0.02). There was no significant difference between those with and without left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction.

conclusionThe acute hemodynamic changes during the perioperative period of CSD are significant but not serious. Awareness of this is useful for peri-operative management.
