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

Monitoring nociception under general anesthesia remains challenging due to the complexity of pain pathways and the limitations of single-parameter methods. In this study, we introduce a multimodal approach that integrates electroencephalogram (EEG), photoplethysmography (PPG), and electrocardiogram (ECG) signals to predict nociception. We collected data from patients undergoing general anesthesia at two hospitals and developed and compared two deep learning models: a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network. Both models were trained on expert anesthesiologists' assessments of nociception. We evaluated normalization strategies for offline and online usage and found that Min-Max normalization was most effective for our dataset. Our results demonstrate that the MLP model accurately captured nociceptive changes in response to painful surgical stimuli, whereas the LSTM model provided smoother predictions but with lower sensitivity to rapid changes. These findings underscore the potential of multimodal, deep learning-based solutions to improve real-time nociception monitoring in diverse clinical settings.
