Caval aorta index as a predictor of hypotension after spinal anesthesia in patients with diabetes mellitus - A cross-sectional comparative study.
Article in Journal of anaesthesiology, clinical pharmacology. 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
Background and Aims: Postspinal hypotension (PSH) is a common adverse event following spinal anesthesia, with a pronounced incidence among diabetic individuals due to autonomic neuropathy. This study aimed to assess the caval aorta index (IVC/AO) and IVC collapsibility index (IVCCI) as predictors of PSH. Material and Methods: One hundred and twenty patients scheduled for elective surgeries under spinal anesthesia were divided into two groups: Group A (Diabetic) and Group B (nondiabetic). IVC and aorta diameters were measured to calculate the IVC/AO index and IVCCI. Patients in both groups received spinal anesthesia using 0.5% bupivacaine (3 ml). Hemodynamic parameters were recorded, and the incidence of PSH was noted. The odds ratio for PSH was ascertained between the groups, and correlations of age, body mass index, diabetes duration, and random blood glucose levels with the IVC/AO index were performed. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to evaluate the diagnostic value of the IVC/AO index and IVCCI for predicting PSH. A Results: PSH was observed in 82 patients (68%), with 58 in group A and 24 in group B. Diabetics had a lower IVC/AO index ( Conclusions: Preoperative ultrasonographic measurement of the IVC/AO and IVCCI indices is a useful predictors of PSH in diabetic patients.
