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
backgroundThe Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) is a machine learning algorithm that was designed to detect alterations in the cardiovascular physiological control mechanisms that may lead to hypotension through multidimensional analyses of the physiological interactions of core haemodynamic parameters. Hypotension is a physiological condition where the central perfusion pressure in the cardiovascular system is too low to ensure adequate flow regulation of local organs and its threshold is the pressure at the lower limit of autoregulation. As such, hypotension can occur in a wide pressure range that can exceed considerably the conventional MAP threshold of 65 mmHg and can vary between individuals as well as within the same individual. We hypothesize that HPI is an indicator of haemodynamic instability. We used direct physiological signs of haemodynamic instability and hypoperfusion from the cardiovascular haemodynamic parameters available on the HPI technology. We conducted a retrospective analysis to investigate the performance of HPI as an indicator of haemodynamic instability related to hypotension and hypoperfusion.
methodsA dataset of 1,683 cardiac and non-cardiac surgical patients were analyzed, including 871 patients monitored with invasive arterial line and 812 monitored with non-invasive finger cuff. There were 19,685 and 21,097 HPI alerts at the threshold of 85 and 50, respectively. Haemodynamic parameters used to define instability were MAP < 65 mmHg, SVV ≥ 13%, CI ≤ 2 L·min
resultsIn the invasive A-line dataset, 94.6% of the HPI alerts at threshold of 85 are followed in 15 min by haemodynamic instability, and 91.4% of HPI alerts at threshold 50 are followed by haemodynamic instability. In the non-invasive finger cuff dataset, they are 96.2% and 94.1% for HPI alerts at threshold 85 and 50, respectively.
conclusionThe Hypotension Prediction Index predicts the upcoming hypotensive haemodynamic instability events with high accuracy. Further research is needed to investigate whether HPI alerts guided treatment of haemodynamic instability improves patient outcomes.
