Prospective randomized evaluation of transcutaneous carbon dioxide monitoring during complex electrophysiological procedures under deep sedation: the TRACES trial.
Article in Clinical research in cardiology : official journal of the German Cardiac Society, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04038476 (Prospective, Randomised Evaluation of Transcutaneous Carbon-dioxide Monitoring in Complex Electrophysiological Procedures in Deep Sedation), which is not on this map.

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
backgroundThe field of interventional electrophysiology is rapidly growing. For safe and efficient procedures sedation is needed for patient comfort and immobility. However, sedative and analgesic agents can induce respiratory depression, risking hypercapnia, hypoxia, and hypotension. This study evaluates the impact of adding transcutaneous carbon-dioxide (CO
methodsThis prospective, randomized study at Ulm University Heart Center included 726 patients undergoing treatment under deep sedation between August 2019 and October 2023. Patients were randomly assigned to standard monitoring or standard monitoring with continuous transcutaneous CO
resultsThe TCM-group included 357 patients, and the standard group had 348. The primary composite endpoint was reached by 195 patients (54.8%) in the TCM-group and 195 patients (56.5%) in the standard group (p = 0.642). However, peripheral venous CO
