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
Background: Hypotension is common during spinal anesthesia and contributes to organ hypoperfusion. Inferior vena cava ultrasonography (IVC USG) has been used in critically ill patients for predicting volume responsiveness but data regarding its use in perioperative setting is limited. This study aims to evaluate the use of IVC USG to guide fluid management for prevention of hypotension after spinal anesthesia. Materials and methods: In this prospective, randomized, interventional study, 92 patients undergoing surgery under spinal anesthesia were randomized into USG group or Control group. In the USG group, IVC USG assessment and fluid management was performed before spinal anesthesia. In the control group, spinal anesthesia was performed without IVC USG assessment. In both the groups, incidence of hypotension and amount of fluid and vasopressors administered were recorded. Results: The incidence of hypotension was significantly lower in the USG group 14 patients (30%) when compared to the control group 24 patients (52%; Conclusion: IVC USG is an effective modality for optimization of volume status for prevention of hypotension after spinal anesthesia.
