Rethinking PbtO₂ responses to hyperoxemia: laying the groundwork for a new approach to multimodal neuromonitoring.
Article in Critical care (London, England), 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
The interpretation of brain tissue oxygen tension (PbtO₂) in neurocritical care remains controversial, particularly during hyperoxemic conditions. In this comment on the article by Bögli et al., we propose that the observed rise in PbtO₂ following increased FiO₂ may be better explained by the conformational transition of hemoglobin from the relaxed (R) to the tense (T) state at the end of cerebral capillaries. This shift, which enhances oxygen release and buffering capacity, helps maintain arterial-like oxygen tension despite low venous oxygen saturation. We discuss the implications of this mechanism for understanding multimodal neuromonitoring (MMM) data, the effects of cerebral autoregulation, and the role of blood storage lesions. Recognizing hemoglobin conformation as a physiological determinant may help refine MMM thresholds and neuroprotective strategies in traumatic brain injury.
