Correlation of preoperative inferior vena cava diameter and inferior vena cava collapsibility index with preoperative fasting status, patient demography and general anaesthesia associated hypotension: A prospective, observational study.
Article in Indian journal of anaesthesia, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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 Aims: A definitive cutoff of inferior venacava (IVC) diameter in expiration (dIVCmax) and inferior vena cava collapsibility index (IVCCI) for predicting general anaesthesia associated hypotension (GAAH) is not yet determined. Primary objective of this study was to determine the correlation of dIVCmax and IVCCI, with GAAH. Other objectives were to determine the correlation of these IVC parameters with preoperative fasting duration, temperature and humidity. The correlation of dIVCmax with patient demography was also studied. Methods: A total of 110 adult patients undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia were included in the study. IVC ultrasonography was done in the preoperative room, 20 to 30 minutes before shifting the patient to the operating room. Hypotension at (hypo@) 2 minutes and 10 minutes after administering vecuronium was recorded. Results: Hundred and seven patients were analysed. A significant positive correlation was present between patient height and dIVCmax (r = 0.25, Conclusion: Both dIVCmax and IVCCI have poor diagnostic accuracy, with good specificity and low sensitivity in predicting GAAH. A steady formula for calculating baseline IVC diameter adjusted for patient demography is needed.
