Fluid responsiveness and hypotension in patients undergoing propofol-based sedation for colonoscopy following bowel preparation: a prospective cohort study.
Article in Canadian journal of anaesthesia = Journal canadien d'anesthesie, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeFasting and bowel preparation may deplete intravascular volume in patients undergoing colonoscopy. Nevertheless, rigorous demonstration of volume depletion and assessment of clinical consequences is lacking. We designed this study to explore the relationship between intravascular volume status and intraprocedural hypotension and to compare transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and the ClearSight™ (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA, USA) noninvasive cardiac output monitor to measure intravascular volume status.
methodsWe recruited adult patients undergoing elective colonoscopy following bowel preparation at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. We assessed the volume status preprocedure by taking TTE and ClearSight measurements in patients in the semirecumbent position and following passive leg raising. Patients received propofol-based sedation, and significant intraprocedural hypotension was defined as a mean arterial pressure (MAP) < 60 mm Hg. The primary outcome was the occurrence of intravascular volume depletion as assessed by a positive result in a passive leg raise test on TTE (a 15% increase in the subaortic velocity time integral).
resultsNinety-nine patients completed the study. The primary outcome was recorded in 29 of the 90 patients with adequate TTE images (32%; 95% confidence interval, 23 to 43). There was inadequate agreement between average TTE and ClearSight measurements of stroke volume at baseline or after passive leg raising. More patients experienced significant intraprocedural hypotension in the fluid-responsive group (48%) than in the normovolemic group (21%).
conclusionPatients undergoing elective colonoscopy after bowel preparation were often fluid responsive. These patients were more likely to have significant intraprocedural hypotension than patients who were volume replete. Transthoracic echocardiography assessment of volume status cannot be readily replaced by ClearSight monitoring.
