Salivary Cortisol as a Surrogate Marker of Stress Response in Children Undergoing Laparoscopic Surgery with Low-pressure versus Standard-pressure Pneumoperitoneum.

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
Purpose: Salivary cortisol is a validated, non-invasive biomarker of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity and surgical stress. Evidence on perioperative cortisol kinetics in children undergoing laparoscopic surgery is limited. This study evaluated temporal salivary cortisol trends and compared stress responses between low- and standard-pressure pneumoperitoneum (PP) in children undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Methods: In this prospective randomized trial, 101 children scheduled for laparoscopic surgery were allocated to low-pressure PP (6-8 mmHg) or standard-pressure PP (9-11 mmHg) using block randomization. Salivary cortisol was measured preoperatively and at 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h postoperatively using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Hemodynamic and respiratory parameters, pain scores, time to resume feeding, and hospital stay were recorded and analyzed. Results: Ninety-three children completed the study (low-pressure: Conclusion: Salivary cortisol is a reliable, noninvasive marker of perioperative stress in children undergoing laparoscopic surgery with a consistent postoperative trajectory. Within 6-11 mmHg, PP pressure did not influence stress response, intraoperative physiology, or short-term recovery.
