Observational study in Clinical pharmacokinetics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06474052 (Volume Kinetics of Gelofusine 4% During Uncomplicated Vascular Surgery), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

objectivesThe volume kinetics of a commercially available colloid fluid, Gelofusine, have not been studied previously.

methodsIntravenous Gelofusine 10 mL/kg was infused over 30 min in 15 patients undergoing vascular surgery. Of the 15 patients, 14 were classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class III status. The distribution and elimination of the infused volume was calculated with mixed-model kinetics based on 280 measurements of the hemoglobin-derived plasma dilution (19 per patient) collected over 180 min.

resultsThe expanded central fluid space volume (V

conclusionThe kinetics of Gelofusine was predictable in patients of American Society of Anesthesiologists class III status undergoing vascular surgery, with the fluid expanding the vascular space and the half-life shortened by noradrenaline.
