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
Objective: Preoperative fasting is a common practice aiming to reduce the risk of pulmonary aspiration during anaesthesia. It is advised to avoid fasting times longer than 6 hours in all children, whenever possible. Prolonged fasting can be uncomfortable for children and may lead to dehydration and other negative outcomes. The primary outcome of the study was the relationship between preoperative duration of fasting and cardiac index (CI) variability, used as a surrogate for intravascular volume status after the induction of anaesthesia, in paediatric patients undergoing surgery. Methods: Prospective, observational study that included patients over 5 years of age, scheduled for surgery. Passive leg-raising-induced CI variability was evaluated for fluid responsiveness and intravascular volume after anaesthesia induction. Patients were termed fluid responders (Rs) if an increase in CI of >10% was obtained after passive leg raising, and non-responders (NRs) if the CI variability was <10%. CI and aortic peak velocity (V Results: There were 32 Rs and 53 (NRs). The mean duration of fasting for Rs was 11.53±2.61, while NR had a mean duration of fasting of 10.6±2.93 hours, showing an insignificant difference. Aortic V Conclusion: With this study method, it was observed that preoperative fasting time had no effect on intraoperative intravascular volume.
