Role of the inferior vena cava collapsibility index in predicting propofol-induced hypotension in patients undergoing colonoscopy.
Article in BMC anesthesiology, 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
backgroundHypotension is a common side effect of propofol induction, and when severe, it is associated with adverse outcomes. Ultrasonography of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a reliable indicator of the intravascular volume. This study investigated whether preoperative IVC ultrasound measurements could predict hypotension after propofol induction in patients undergoing colonoscopies.
methodsSixty-two adult patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status (ASA) I-II scheduled for colonoscopy after propofol induction were recruited. The Ultrasound Maximum IVC diameter (dIVCmax), minimum IVC diameter (dIVCmin), and collapsibility index (IVC-CI) were assessed in all patients before propofol induction. Mean blood pressure (MBP) was recorded before induction. Propofol was injected intravenously after ultrasound measurements. MBP was recorded 1, 3, 5, and 10 min after propofol induction. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of IVC-CI was compared with that of patients who developed hypotension after propofol induction.
resultsSixty-two patients completed the study, and their data were considered for statistical analysis. After induction,30 patients developed hypotension. The area under the curve (95% confidence interval) was 0.72 (0.595 to 0.849) for IVC-CI. The optimal IVC-CI cutoff value was 38.25%, with a sensitivity of 56.7% and specificity of 71.9%. IVC-CI before induction strongly correlated with the maximum percentage of MBP drop after propofol induction. (regression coefficient = 0.33, P = 0.008), respectively.
conclusionPre-induction IVC-CI > 38.25% is a non-invasive predictor of propofol-induced hypotension in patients undergoing colonoscopy and is strongly correlated with MBP drop.
