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

This prespecified secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial investigated event-related dynamics of the Nociception Level (NOL) index during tracheal intubation and initiation of pneumoperitoneum in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Continuous NOL values recorded every 5 s were analyzed within 5-min windows before and after each event using segmented regression models within a comparative interrupted time series (ITS) framework incorporating a contemporaneous control group. Forty-nine patients were included (NOL-guided, n = 25; control, n = 24). At intubation, the NOL-guided group showed a lower pre-event baseline (12.2 vs 19.2; group difference - 6.97, p = 0.003) and a reduced post-event peak (32.9 vs 44.1; - 11.2, p = 0.034), whereas immediate level changes did not differ (p = 0.82). Similar findings were observed at pneumoperitoneum, with lower baseline (8.09 vs 12.0; - 3.93, p = 0.024) and peak NOL values (12.9 vs 23.6; - 10.8, p = 0.013) but no difference in immediate level change (p = 0.47). By integrating a prespecified secondary analysis within a comparative ITS framework, this study offers a time-resolved perspective on intraoperative NOL dynamics beyond conventional event-based analyses.
