Perioperative blood pressure and heart rate alterations after carotid body tumor excision: a retrospective study of 108 cases.
Observational study in BMC anesthesiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundArising from chemoreceptor cells, carotid body tumors (CBTs) are rare neoplasms associated with hemodynamics. Perioperative changes in blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) are not completely understood.
methodsThis retrospective, observational, controlled study included all CBT patients from 2013 to 2018 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Perioperative changes in BP/HR within or between unilateral/bilateral/control groups were investigated. Perioperative details across Shamblin types were also assessed.
resultsThis study included 108 patients (116 excised CBTs). The postoperative systolic BP and HR increased in both unilateral (mean difference of systolic BP = 5.9mmHg, 95% CI 3.1 ~ 8.6; mean difference of HR = 3.7 bpm, 95% CI 2.6 ~ 4.9) and bilateral (mean difference of systolic BP = 10.3mmHg, 95% CI 0.6 ~ 19.9; mean difference of HR = 8.4 bpm, 95% CI 0.5 ~ 16.2) CBT patients compared with the preoperative measures. Compared with control group, the postoperative systolic BP increased (difference in the alteration = 6.3mmHg, 95% CI 3.5 ~ 9.0) in unilateral CBT patients; both systolic BP (difference in the alteration = 9.2mmHg, 95% CI 1.1 ~ 17.3) and HR (difference in the alteration = 5.3 bpm, 95% CI 1.0 ~ 9.6) increased in bilateral CBT patients. More CBT patients required extra antihypertensive therapy after surgery than controls (OR = 2.5, 95% CI 1.14 ~ 5.5). Maximum tumor diameter, intraoperative vascular injury, continuous vasoactive agent requirement, total fluid volume, transfusion, estimated blood loss, operation duration, postoperative pathology, overall complications, and intensive care unit/hospital lengths of stay significantly varied among Shamblin types.
conclusionCBT excision may be associated with subtle perioperative hemodynamic changes. Perioperative management of CBT patients necessitates careful assessment, full preparation and close postoperative monitoring.
