The use of the surgical pleth index to guide anaesthesia in gastroenterological surgery: a randomised controlled study.
Trial report in Journal of clinical monitoring and computing, 2025. 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
The measurement of nociception and the optimisation of intraoperative antinociceptive medication could potentially improve the conduct of anaesthesia, especially in the older population. The Surgical Pleth Index (SPI) is one of the monitoring methods presently used for the detection of nociceptive stimulus. Eighty patients aged 50 years and older who were scheduled to undergo major abdominal surgery were randomised and divided into a study group and a control group. In the study group, the SPI was used to guide the administration of remifentanil during surgery. In the control group, the SPI value was concealed, and remifentanil administration was based on the clinical evaluation of the attending anaesthesiologist. The primary endpoint of this study was intraoperative remifentanil consumption. In addition, we compared the durations of intraoperative hypotension and hypertension. No difference in intraoperative remifentanil consumption (4.5 µg kg
