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

backgroundElevated arterial-central venous carbon dioxide partial pressure difference (AVCO

methodsInfants with clinical conditions of hypoperfusion, without volume responsiveness and with ineffective initial treatment, within 3 h of cardiac surgery were enrolled in this study. A pulse contour cardiac output catheter was used to monitor the cardiac index (CI). Eight measurements of arterial blood gas and central venous blood gas were taken within 42 h after surgery. Clinical data of all patients were recorded.

resultsA total of 69 children were enrolled in this study. Arteriovenous oxygen difference, AVCO

conclusionElevated AVCO
