Association Between Intraoperative Noradrenaline Infusion and Outcomes in Older Adult Patients Undergoing Major Non-Cardiac Surgeries: A Retrospective Propensity Score-Matched Cohort Study.
Article in Clinical interventions in aging, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Noradrenaline (NA) is commonly used intraoperatively to prevent fluid overload and maintain hemodynamic stability. Clinical studies provided inconsistent results concerning the effect of NA on postoperative outcomes. As aging is accompanied with various diseases and has the high possibility of the risk for postoperative complications, we hypothesized that intraoperative NA infusion in older adult patients undergoing major non-cardiac surgeries might potentially exert adverse outcomes. Methods: In this retrospective propensity score-matched cohort study, older adult patients undergoing major non-cardiac surgeries were selected, 1837 receiving NA infusion during surgery, and 1072 not receiving NA. The propensity score matching was conducted with a 1:1 ratio and 1072 patients were included in each group. The primary outcomes were postoperative in-hospital mortality and complications. Results: Intraoperative NA administration reduced postoperative urinary tract infection (OR:0.124, 95% CI:0.016-0.995), and had no effect on other postoperative complications and mortality, it reduced intraoperative crystalloid infusion (OR:0.999, 95% CI:0.999-0.999), blood loss (OR: 0.998, 95% CI: 0.998-0.999), transfusion (OR:0.327, 95% CI: 0.218-0.490), but increased intraoperative lactate production (OR:1.354, 95% CI:1.051-1.744), and hospital stay (OR:1.019, 95% CI:1.008-1.029). Conclusion: Intraoperative noradrenaline administration reduces postoperative urinary tract infection, and does not increase other postoperative complications and mortality, and can be safely used in older adult patients undergoing major non-cardiac surgeries.
