NIRS frequency analysis to evaluate cerebrovascular reactivity after acute brain injury.
Article in Neurophotonics, 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
Significance: Cerebral autoregulation (CA) relies on cerebrovascular reactivity, and it is often impaired after acute brain injury (ABI), contributing to secondary brain damage. Noninvasive neuromonitoring with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can detect oscillations in cerebral hemodynamics, which may reflect autoregulatory function and may therefore be a candidate biomarker for CA monitoring. Aim: We investigated whether changes in the spectral composition of the NIRS signal in ABI under the condition of mild hyperoxia are associated with clinical outcomes in ABI patients. Approach: Bilateral prefrontal NIRS recording was performed during hyperoxia challenges in mechanically ventilated ABI patients admitted to the neurocritical care unit. Spectral power in low-frequency and very low-frequency oscillations (VLFO) was computed and correlated with clinical scores and functional outcomes (Glasgow Outcome Scale). Results: Patients with favorable outcomes exhibited increased VLFO during mild hyperoxia with a fraction of inspired oxygen ( Conclusions: Our preliminary findings in a group of 20 patients suggest a potential role of NIRS in the development of individualized neuromonitoring strategies for brain-injured patients.
