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.

2 · The registry

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

Patient frailty and intraoperative hypotension are both independent predictors of poor postoperative outcomes. A recent paper by Daum and colleagues demonstrates that these factors work in concert to increase patient risk as frail patients are more likely to experience frequent hypotension during surgery. Frailty and hypotension are appealing as modifiable risk factors amendable to interventions already available in practice, including risk screening and stratification, prehabilitation, and continuous haemodynamic monitoring. Future studies are needed to define interventions that benefit patients most according to their frailty at the time of surgery.
