The effect of thiopentone on somatosensory evoked responses and EEGs in comatose patients.
Article in Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry, 1983. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
EEGs and somatosensory evoked responses from the brachial plexus, neck and scalp were recorded in seven comatose patients on continuous thiopentone infusion. Although pathological in five of the patients, the evoked responses were present in all. Additional amounts of thiopentone producing a full suppression of all spontaneous EEG activity had no effects either on the configuration of the evoked responses or on the central conduction times. This resistance of the somatosensory evoked responses to a deep and sustained thiopentone narcosis makes it a useful test in comatose patients receiving this treatment.
