The Effect of Anesthetic Depth on the Occurrence of Emergence Delirium in Children Undergoing Strabismus Surgery: A Prospective Observational Study.

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/
objectivesEmergence delirium (ED) is one of the most frequent postoperative complications in pediatric patients after general anesthesia. In adults, a deeper intraoperative level of anesthesia has been reported as an independent predictor of postoperative delirium. However, the effect of anesthetic depth on ED has rarely been demonstrated in the pediatric population. We evaluated whether the depth of general anesthesia could affect the occurrence of emergence delirium (ED).
methodsPatients aged 3-5 years, scheduled for strabismus surgery were enrolled in this prospective observational study. Intraoperative bispectral index (BIS) was monitored, and the pediatric anesthesia emergence delirium (PAED) scale was evaluated. When the PAED scale was 10 or more, it was designated as an ED case.
resultsAccording to the intraoperative mean BIS range, enrolled patients were divided into two groups: the low BIS (BIS < 40;
conclusionsThe intraoperative anesthetic depth did not seem to affect the occurrence of ED in pediatric patients undergoing strabismus surgery under general anesthesia. Future studies with a larger sample size are necessary for more authentic results.
