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

objectiveMillions of children are exposed to anaesthetic drugs every day; however, the possible adverse effects of these agents on the central nervous system remain controversial. This study evaluated anaesthesiologists' and pediatric surgeons' knowledge and daily practices regarding anaesthesia-induced neurotoxicity.

methodsA survey consisting of 12 questions was sent to members of the Turkish Anaesthesiology and Reanimation Association and the Turkish Pediatric Surgery Association via the Google forms program.

resultsA total of 202 anaesthesiologists and 51 pediatric surgeons participated in this survey. The results demonstrate that anaesthesiologists and surgeons are aware of the risk of anaesthesia-related neurotoxicity and are willing to take action. Approximately, half of the anaesthesiologists and pediatric surgeons expected to postpone operations lasting at least 3 hours for patients <3 years of age. Also, one-third of the anaesthesiologists would seek feasible and more reliable alternative anaesthetic strategies.

conclusionsMore than two-thirds of the participants knew about the US Food and Drug Administration neurotoxicity warning; however, uncertainty about anaesthesia-related neurotoxicity is ongoing. Many questions remain unanswered. The results of large-scale prospective randomized studies to evaluate the effect of anaesthetics and surgery on the cognitive development of pediatric patients are needed.
