Effects of hemorrhage, fluid resuscitation, and transient deep anesthesia on transcranial and transesophageal motor evoked potentials in a swine model.

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
purposeHemorrhage may suppress the amplitude of transcranial motor evoked potentials (TcMEPs). We compared the effects of hemorrhage, subsequent fluid resuscitation, and transient anesthetic deepening on the recently developed transesophageal motor evoked potentials (TeMEPs) with those on conventional TcMEPs.
methodsTwelve swine (26.0 ± 0.5 kg) were anesthetized with 8-13% desflurane during preparation and then switched to propofol and remifentanil anesthesia. After baseline measurements, 700 mL of blood was withdrawn over 30 min to induce hypovolemia. Hypovolemia was then treated with 700 mL of hydroxyethyl starch for 30 min (fluid resuscitation). Subsequently, 5 mg of remimazolam was administered, followed by 50 mg of propofol after the effects of remimazolam had reversed. TcMEPs and TeMEPs were recorded at the end of each condition and immediately before and after the administration of remimazolam or propofol.
resultsIn all conditions and in all limbs, TeMEPs' amplitudes were greater than those of TcMEPs. Massive hemorrhage reduced the amplitudes of both TeMEPs and TcMEPs in the bilateral lower limbs and this reduction was not reversed by fluid resuscitation. Following bolus administration of remimazolam or propofol, TcMEPs were markedly suppressed, whereas TeMEPs remained unchanged.
conclusionsSimilar to TcMEPs, TeMEPs amplitudes may decrease after hemorrhage, and this suppression is not reversed by fluid resuscitation. However, unlike TcMEPs, TeMEPs are resistant to transient anesthetic deepening, suggesting that the observed suppression may be attributable to reduced oxygen delivery to the spinal cord rather than to anesthetic deepening.
