Goal-directed therapy: what is the goal again?
Review in Perioperative medicine (London, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Recent attention has focused on intraoperative hypotension (IOH) and hemodynamic instability. This enhanced awareness to limit IOH, combined with fluid restriction and increased vasopressor use, has been associated with an increase in postoperative acute kidney injury. Recent literature supports improved intraoperative monitoring of mean arterial pressure (MAP), fluid management, and appropriate use of vasopressors and inotropic support for hemodynamic management. Implementing an algorithm to manage the causes of IOH minimizes iatrogenic harm by guiding anesthesia clinicians to select the appropriate interventions at the optimal time. This ensures a comprehensive evaluation of contributing factors such as fluid deficits, myocardial depression, and vasodilation. Shifting attention from the MAP displayed on the physiologic monitor to more individualized care with a goal-directed therapy approach may improve patient outcomes.
