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

Anesthesiologists often compare intraoperative and preoperative electrocardiogram (ECG) waveforms in patients undergoing general anesthesia. In addition, many intraoperative ECG monitors have filters for removing electrocautery noise. In pediatric anesthesiology practice, we often note the appearance of elevated T waves-specifically, an increase in their height-with the use of such filters, even though no actual clinical change has occurred, which possibly leads to misdiagnosis. We investigated changes in R and T wave heights and in the T/R ratio according to the use of the strong (S) versus the diagnostic (D) filtering mode during pediatric anesthesiology. Primary outcomes were the dependence of the heights of the R and T waves on the filter mode and the correlation between rates of change in the R- and T-wave heights and heart rate (HR). In the S mode, the height of the R wave was lower (p = 0.013, η
