Perioperative Use of Vasoactive Agents in Patients Undergoing Gastrointestinal Surgery: A Protocol for a Scoping Review.
Article in Acta anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 2026. 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
backgroundPerioperative hypotension in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery is a known and well-described condition. Timely treatment of perioperative hypotension, regardless of the reason, is important in order to reduce the associated postoperative complications. The treatment consists of vasoactive agents and/or fluids; however, the ideal vasoactive agent in gastrointestinal surgery has yet to be identified.
methodsWe will conduct a scoping review of studies assessing the use of vasoactive agents in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. We will investigate in which gastrointestinal populations the use of vasoactive agents has been assessed, if the agents are used as part of a goal-directed therapy protocol, evaluate the desirable or undesirable effects assessed, and if there are any differences between the agents assessed depending on the urgency of the surgery. The review will be developed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) statement.
resultsResults will be presented descriptively.
conclusionThe outlined scoping review will provide a descriptive summary of the body of evidence on the use of vasoactive agents in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery.
