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

Intraoperative polyuria, defined as urine output >2.5 mL/kg/hour during surgical procedures, can complicate fluid and electrolyte management. This series reviews cases of intraoperative polyuria in patients undergoing general anesthesia for spinal procedures. Urine output ranged from 2.69 to 3.69 mL/kg/hour during these procedures, which lasted from 8.5 to 12.5 hours. Dexmedetomidine, sevoflurane, ketamine, and/or propofol were used. Existing literature points to associations between these agents and transient arginine vasopressin (AVP) disorders that cause polyuria. All cases occurred in the setting of spinal procedures, which have also been associated with AVP disorders. The combination of multiple factors during surgical procedures that may increase the risk of AVP disorders has the potential to increase the incidence of intraoperative polyuria. None of the patients had a history of diabetes or AVP disorders, and no other causes of polyuria were identified. Awareness of the link between anesthetic medications, spinal procedures, and polyuria can improve the diagnosis and management of intraoperative polyuria.
