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

backgroundAnaesthesia-induced burst suppression signifies profound cerebral inactivation. Although considerable efforts have been directed towards elucidating the electroencephalographic manifestation of burst suppression, the neuronal underpinnings that give rise to isoflurane-induced burst suppression are unclear.

methodsElectroencephalography combined with micro-endoscopic calcium imaging was used to investigate the neural mechanisms of isoflurane-induced burst suppression. Synchronous activities of pyramidal neurones in the auditory cortex and medial prefrontal cortex and inhibitory neurones in the auditory cortex (including parvalbumin [PV], somatostatin [SST], and vasoactive intestinal peptide [Vip]) and subcortical regions (including the medial geniculate body, locus coeruleus, and thalamic reticular nucleus) were recorded during isoflurane anaesthesia. In addition, the effects of chemogenetic manipulation inhibitory neurones in the auditory cortex on isoflurane-induced burst suppression were studied.

resultsIsoflurane-induced burst suppression was highly correlated with the synchronous activities of excitatory neurones in the cortex (∼65% positively and ∼20% negatively correlated neurones). Conversely, a minimal or absent correlation was observed with the neuronal synchrony of inhibitory interneurones and with neuronal activities within subcortical areas. Only activation or inhibition of PV neurones, but not SST or Vip neurones, decreased (P<0.0001) or increased (P<0.0001) isoflurane-induced neuronal synchrony.

conclusionsIsoflurane-induced burst suppression might be primarily driven by the synchronous activities of excitatory pyramidal neurones in the cortex, which could be bidirectionally regulated by manipulating the activity of inhibitory PV interneurones. Our findings provide new insights into the neuronal mechanisms underlying burst suppression.
