Ultrasonography evaluation of the inferior vena cava collapsibility index and the superior vena cava distensibility index for predicting hypotension during general anesthesia in atrial fibrillation patients: a prospective observational study.
Observational study in BMC anesthesiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent arrhythmia, the ineffective contraction of the atria leads to a decrease in effective cardiac output. AF patients are prone to hypotension during anesthesia, especially in the early stages of general anesthesia. We explored whether the inferior vena cava collapsibility index (IVCCI) or the superior vena cava distensibility index (SVCDI) could predict the occurrence of post-induction hypotension (PIH) and early intraoperative hypotension (eIOH) in AF patients.
methodsA total of 77 AF patients undergoing left atrial appendage occlusion under general anesthesia were included in this study. The inferior vena cava was measured before induction and the superior vena cava after induction. The main outcome was the ultrasound measurements of IVCCI and SVCDI in AF patients and their association with hypotension during general anesthesia. Hypotension was classified as the mean arterial pressure (MAP) below 60 mmHg or more than 20% below the baseline level. The correlation between IVCCI, SVCDI and the percentage decrease in MAP was assessed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of IVCCI, SVCDI were separately generated to predict PIH and eIOH. Logistic regression was employed to validate the risk factors for PIH and eIOH in AF patients.
resultsAF patients who developed PIH had a significantly higher IVCCI (P < 0.001) and developed eIOH had a significantly higher SVCDI (P < 0.001). ROC curve analysis showed that IVCCI had an accuracy of 85% to predict PIH at a cut-off point more than 34.1% (P < 0.001). SVCDI had an accuracy of 86% to predict eIOH at a cut-off point more than 17.8% (P < 0.001). After adjusting for confounding variables, IVCCI was an independent predictor of PIH (P < 0.001), while SVCDI was an independent predictor of eIOH (P < 0.001).
conclusionPreoperative IVCCI > 34.1% indicates a non-invasive predictor of PIH in AF patients; SVCDI > 17.8% suggest a reliable predictor of eIOH in AF patients.
