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

backgroundThe effects of general anesthesia (GA) on less flow-dependent (velocity ratio, velocity time integral [VTI] ratio and indexed pulmonary valve area [iPVA]) and flow-dependent (mean [PVmeanPG] and maximum pressure gradient [PVmaxPG]) indices of severity of pulmonary stenosis (PS) are unclear.

objectivesDetermine the effects of GA on indices of severity of PS in dogs undergoing an interventional procedure (IP). Determine the reproducibility of indices of severity of PS. ANIMALS: Thirty-nine dogs with PS.

methodsProspective cross-sectional study. Five repeated echocardiograms were performed over 3 days. Day 1: two echocardiograms were performed by 2 different operators. Day 2: echocardiograms were performed before and after GA but before IP. Day 3: an echocardiogram was performed after the IP.

resultsAfter GA, median (IQR) cardiac index (2.1 [1.6-2.6] L/min/m CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: PVmeanPG and PVmaxPG might be misleading in states of reduced flow. An integrative assessment of severity of PS that includes less flow-dependent indices is recommended. Reproducibility of indices of severity of PS should be considered when re-evaluating dogs with PS.
