Continuous intra-arterial versus noninvasive blood pressure monitoring for preventing hypotension during anesthesia induction in patients aged ≥ 75 years undergoing noncardiac surgery: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC anesthesiology, 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
backgroundHypotension is common during the period after induction of general anesthesia and before surgical incision, particularly in older patients. The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of continuous intra-arterial pressure monitoring with that of noninvasive blood pressure monitoring in preventing hypotension during anesthesia induction in older patients (≥ 75 years) undergoing noncardiac surgery.
methodsIn this single-center, randomized controlled trial, 82 older patients who were scheduled for elective noncardiac surgery under general anesthesia were randomly assigned to the continuous intra-arterial pressure monitoring group or the noninvasive blood pressure monitoring group. The primary outcome was the area under the curve for mean arterial pressure (MAP) < 65 mmHg during the first 15 min after induction, based on invasive blood pressure measurements.
resultsThe area under the curve for mean arterial pressure < 65 mmHg was significantly lower in the continuous intra-arterial pressure monitoring group (median (interquartile range), 0 (0-6.09) mmHg∙min) than in the noninvasive group (3.67 (0-26.45) mmHg∙min; P = 0.008). The continuous intra-arterial pressure monitoring group also had a shorter duration of MAP < 65 mmHg (0 (0-1.42) vs. 0.87 (0-3.88) minutes; P = 0.010), received lower doses of propofol (16.67 (13.34-24.15) vs. 30 (24.17-40.83) mg; P = 0.011) and remifentanil (25.34 (16.67-40.00) vs. 34.18 (25.00-57.00) µg; P = 0.045), and received vasoactive drugs earlier (0.87 (0.67-1.00) vs. 2.33 (1.87-3.33) minutes; P < 0.001) and at higher doses in the continuous intra-arterial pressure monitoring group.
conclusionsCompared with noninvasive blood pressure monitoring, continuous intra‑arterial pressure monitoring initiated before induction was associated with reduced the incidence, severity, and duration of hypotension during anesthesia induction in older patients (≥ 75 years) undergoing noncardiac surgery.
