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

Recent studies of anesthesia mechanisms have focused on neuronal network and functional connectivity. The stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) recordings provide appropriate temporal and spatial resolution to study whole-brain dynamics; however, the feasibility to detect subcortical signals during anesthesia still needs to be studied with clinical evidence. Here, we focus on the amygdala to investigate if SEEG can be used to detect cortical and subcortical electrophysiological activity in anesthetized epileptic patients. Therefore, we present direct evidence in humans that SEEG indeed can be used to record cortical and subcortical electrophysiological activity during anesthesia. The study was carried out in propofol-anesthetized five epileptic patients. The electrophysiology activity of the amygdala and other cortical areas from anesthesia to the recovery of consciousness was investigated using stereo-EEG (SEEG). Results indicated that with the decrease of propofol concentration, power spectral density (PSD) in the delta band of the amygdala significantly decreased. When it was close to recovery, the correlation between the amygdala and ipsilateral temporal lobe significantly decreased followed by a considerable increase when awake. The findings of the current study suggest SEEG as an effective tool for providing direct evidence of the anesthesia mechanism.
