Prediction of post-induction hypotension in young adults using ultrasound-derived inferior vena cava parameters: An observational study.
Article in Indian journal of anaesthesia, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsInferior vena cava (IVC) diameter and its respiratory variability have been shown to predict post-induction hypotension with high specificity in a mixed population of patients. We assessed whether these parameters could be as reliable in healthy adult patients as in a mixed patient population.
methodsIn the present prospective observational study, 110 patients of either sex, aged between 18 and 50 years, belonging to American Society of Anesthesiologists class I and II, fasted as per the institutional protocol and scheduled for elective surgery under general anaesthesia were enroled. Prior to induction, ultrasound examination of IVC was done and variation in IVC diameter with respiration was assessed. Maximum and minimum IVC diameters [(dIVC
resultsIVC was not visualised in 22 patients. Out of the remaining 88 patients, 17 (19.3%) patients developed hypotension after induction. The dIVC
conclusionUltrasound-derived IVC parameters demonstrate poor diagnostic accuracy for prediction of hypotension after induction in healthy adult patients.
