Impact of sevoflurane anesthesia on S-adenosylmethionine in neonates under general anesthesia.
Article in Journal of anaesthesiology, clinical pharmacology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background and Aims: Preclinical studies in rodents and primates have shown that anesthesia was neurotoxic to the developing brain after exposure in the neonatal period. Sevoflurane a commonly used inhalational anesthetic, especially in pediatric surgery, might cause behavioral impairment in the developing brain. Although favored for its rapid onset and minimal airway disturbance, sevoflurane has been implicated in neurotoxic effects such as anesthesia-induced developmental neurotoxicity in rodents, through various mechanisms. One of the mechanisms was disturbances in methylation metabolism which can be easily treated if it is proved. This study aims to evaluate the levels of S-adenosylmethionine [SAM] following sevoflurane anesthesia in neonates and to correlate the duration of sevoflurane exposure and S-adenosylmethionine levels. Material and Methods: Sixty neonates were included in the study under general anesthesia. Pre- and postsevoflurane exposure arterial blood samples were collected in ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid vacutainers. Each sample was centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 10 min. Plasma was separated and stored at -80°C, then subjected to S-adenosylmethionine enzyme-linked immunoassay test for preand postsevoflurane exposure levels of SAM. Results: The difference between the pre- and post-SAM values is not statistically significant and also with increasing the duration of sevoflurane exposure there was no reduction in the SAM levels ( Conclusion: Single exposure to sevoflurane does not impact SAM levels in neonates undergoing general anesthesia.
