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

introductionIndexed oxygen delivery (DO₂i) is a critical parameter in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) management. Traditional goal-directed perfusion (GDP) protocols use fixed DO₂i thresholds, typically derived from normothermic conditions. However, these static values do not account for the temperature-dependent reduction in metabolic rate during hypothermia, potentially leading to perfusion mismatches.

methodsThis work presents a temperature-adjusted DO₂i (taDO₂i) algorithm designed to adapt oxygen delivery targets during CPB dynamically. The model is grounded in established physiological principles describing the effect of temperature on oxygen consumption. A quadratic regression approach was used to synthesize this behavior into a continuous function, which incorporates core temperature and body surface area (BSA) to provide individualized DO₂i targets.

resultsThe taDO₂i model closely aligns with known physiological behavior across a range of temperatures. It reduces the risk of overperfusion during hypothermia and underperfusion during rewarming, offering more accurate perfusion guidance than linear approximations or fixed thresholds. The model is suitable for integration into perfusion software or electronic health records, allowing real-time application.

conclusionThis temperature-adjusted algorithm provides a physiologically sound and computationally simple tool for optimizing oxygen delivery during CPB. It supports individualized perfusion management and represents a valuable evolution of current GDP strategies. Prospective clinical validation is recommended.
