Solving the enigma of burst suppression.
Article in British journal of anaesthesia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The neural mechanisms underlying burst suppression during anaesthesia remain poorly understood. A recent study in the British Journal of Anaesthesia used calcium imaging to examine neuronal activity driving burst suppression in both cortical and subcortical structures. The results reveal diverse involvement of cortical excitatory neurones in burst suppression, while distinct interneurone subtypes play varied roles. Parvalbumin neurones in particular are key in modulating these rhythms. These insights will inform anaesthetic management of patients with neurological vulnerabilities.
