Cerebral pulse oximetry in carotid endarterectomy: an impact study.

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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of cerebral pulse oximetry in improving early results (30 days) of surgical outcomes and patient safety during carotid endarterectomy, focusing on its role in guiding selective shunt use and reducing procedure-related complications.
methodsA retrospective review was conducted on 179 patients who underwent carotid endarterectomy at a cardiovascular surgery clinic (2010-2020). The study emphasized adherence to ethical standards, rigorous data analysis, and stringent participant inclusion criteria and evaluated the impact of cerebral pulse oximetry on surgical outcomes.
resultsCerebral pulse oximetry significantly influenced intraoperative decisions. Mean total operative time and cross-clamp duration were significantly reduced in the group cerebral pulse oximetry (66.96±8.21 vs. 57.41±7.24 min and 28.68±4.20 vs. 18.63±3.91 min, respectively). Routine shunt placement was also lower in this group, with usage reported in only 0.9 vs. 47.2%.
conclusionCerebral pulse oximetry during carotid endarterectomy may reduce the necessity for routine shunt placement, minimizing associated risks and enhancing operative efficiency.
