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

Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IONM) is an indispensable surgical tool that offers invaluable insights into neurological function across a spectrum of anatomical areas. By comprehensively assessing the integrity of the brain, brainstem, spinal cord, cranial nerves, and peripheral nerves, IONM plays a pivotal role in guiding surgical decision-making and optimizing patient outcomes, particularly in the context of high-risk procedures. Intraoperative drugs, especially anesthetics and/or analgesics, differentially modulate neurophysiological monitoring, which remarkably affects the application of neurophysiological monitoring under specific conditions and indicates the neurobiological mechanisms of anesthetics/analgesics. This review will describe various neurophysiological modalities utilized in intraoperative procedures, each employing a wide variety of physiological principles; summarize the modulatory effects of anesthetics/analgesics on these neurophysiological monitoring parameters; and elucidate their underlying mechanisms, with a particular emphasis on evoked potentials. Insights gleaned from this review can inform strategies of anesthesia management for surgeries that require IONM and guide future investigations on the mechanisms of anesthesia/analgesia.
