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

objectivesTo establish normative data of plethysmograph variability index (PVI), a simple non-invasive tool to measure fluid responsiveness, in neonates.

methodsAll healthy term and late preterm neonates were enrolled. PVI was recorded by pulse-oximeter on first three days of life along with other vital parameters. Data was analysed using SPSS software.

resultsThe median PVI value was noted to be 21 with a wide range. The distribution of PVI did not differ according to day of life/ gestational age/ gender/ weight for gestational age. It did not significantly correlate with heart rate, gestational age or birth weight. A weak positive correlation was noted between PVI and PI (Rho = 0.157, p <0.001).

conclusionsPVI normative data in neonates has been presented. Serial trend of PVI values is more useful than a single value in making clinical decisions.
