Conventional fluid management versus plethysmographic variability index-based goal directed fluid management in patients undergoing spine surgery in the prone position - a randomised control trial.
Trial report in Anaesthesiology intensive therapy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05239286 (Comparison Between Conventional Fluid Management and Plethysmographic Variability Index Based Goal Directed Fluid Management in Patients Undergoing Spine Surgeries in Prone Position; A Randomized Control Trial.), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 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.

Abstract
introductionThe plethysmographic variability index (PVI) is a dynamic approach for assessing volume status. This study aims to compare conventional fluid management and PVI based goal-directed fluid management (GDFM) during elective spine surgery in the prone position. MATERIAL AND
methodsSixty-six adult patients, ASA I-II, scheduled for elective lumbar spine procedures under general anaesthesia in the prone position were included. Patients were randomly divided into either the Conventional Group with the conventional fluid management protocol or the PVI Group with the PVI-based GDFM protocol. The total amount of intraoperative crystalloid administered was set as a primary outcome. Intraoperative PVI and perfusion index (PI), mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), the incidence of hypotension after prone positioning in both groups and data from arterial blood gas samples (immediately after induction of anaesthesia [T1] and immediately postoperatively [T2]) were set as secondary outcomes.
resultsThe total amount of intraoperative crystalloids, blood transfusion, urine output, and fluid balance were similar in the two groups ( P -values 0.443, 0.317 and 0.273, respectively). The perioperative MAP and HR values showed no significant differences between the two groups at all time points of measurements. The values of pH, PaO 2 , PaCO 2 , HCO 3 , lactate and haemoglobin showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups. The blood lactate value at T2 was significantly increased when compared to T1 values in the two groups.
conclusionsPVI dependent goal-directed fluid management (GDFM) therapy did not reduce the intraoperative total crystalloid administration or requirements for blood transfusion when compared to conventional fluid management using a fixed fluid rate in patients undergoing spine surgery in a prone position. Clinical trial registration: The study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT05239286).
