Imaging photoplethysmography reveals differences in the reactions of cerebral and systemic hemodynamics to infusion of vasoactive drugs.

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
Introduction: According to the recent data, imaging photoplethysmography has extensive capabilities in clinical and experimental biomedical research. However, relationship between local vasomotor reactions, estimated as fluctuations of the amplitude of pulsatile component (APC) of a photoplethysmographic waveform, and changes in systemic hemodynamic parameters remains unclear. The study aims to assess APC changes concurrently with changes in basic physiological parameters in response to administration of either vasodilating adenosine triphosphate or vasoconstrictor norepinephrine. Methods: In anesthetized, artificially ventilated rats (n=10), a video recording of the cerebral cortex was performed through thinned parietal bones synchronously with an electrocardiogram. Simultaneously, systemic blood pressure and end-tidal CO Results: Cerebrovascular effects of vasoactive agents are expressed in transient, pronounced and stereotypical changes in APC for all animals. For both substances, these changes are multiphasic, with at least two episodes of rise and fall in APC that do not correlate with changes in blood pressure. For the first time, opposite reaction vectors of intracranial and systemic hemodynamics were detected with the administration of either vasodilators and vasoconstrictors. Discussion: Our study demonstrates that APC can be considered as a quantitative marker of local vasodilation/vasoconstriction, which does not necessarily coincide with systemic hemodynamics, thus enabling an experimental investigation of autoregulation processes. The results obtained make it possible to link systemic and intracranial hemodynamic shifts caused by drugs into a single picture and clarify how adenosine triphosphate or norepinephrine affect the cardiovascular system and blood supply to the brain, which is very important due to the widespread use of these drugs in practical medicine.
