1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo evaluate the effect of propofol combined with remifentanil anesthesia on the cerebral oxygen supply-demand balance during craniotomy in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).

methodsA total of 180 patients who underwent craniotomy for TBI from January 2020 to December 2024 were retrospectively included and divided into two groups according to the intraoperative anesthesia regimen: a control group (n=88, sevoflurane and remifentanil) and a study group (n=92, propofol and remifentanil).

resultsThe times to spontaneous respiration recovery, orientation recovery, eye opening upon verbal command, tracheal extubation, and exit from the operating room were significantly shorter in the study group than in the control group (

conclusionsPropofol combined with remifentanil anesthesia may accelerate the postoperative recovery in TBI patients undergoing craniotomy, reduce oxidative stress and cerebral reperfusion injury, and improve cerebral oxygen supply-demand balance, with fewer adverse reactions.
