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

Significance: Combining diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) permits simultaneous monitoring of multiple cerebral hemodynamic parameters related to cerebral autoregulation; however, interpreting these optical measurements can be confounded by signal contamination from extracerebral tissue. Aim: We aimed to evaluate extracerebral signal contamination in NIRS/DCS data acquired during transient hypotension and assess suitable means of separating scalp and brain signals. Approach: A hybrid time-resolved NIRS/multidistance DCS system was used to simultaneously acquire cerebral oxygenation and blood flow data during transient orthostatic hypotension induced by rapid-onset lower body negative pressure (LBNP) in nine young, healthy adults. Changes in microvascular flow were verified against changes in middle cerebral artery velocity (MCAv) measured by transcranial Doppler ultrasound. Results: LBNP significantly decreased arterial blood pressure ( Conclusion: Transient hypotension caused significantly larger blood flow and oxygenation changes in the extracerebral tissue compared to the brain. We demonstrate the importance of accounting for extracerebral signal contamination within optical measures of cerebral hemodynamics during physiological paradigms designed to test cerebral autoregulation.
