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
objectiveMayer wave (~10 s) blood pressure (BP) oscillations may represent rhythmic vasomotor activity. However, it remains unclear if volatile anesthetics disturb the coherence between heart rate (HR) and BP rhythms in this region, which may result in improperly affecting BP-HR modulation by the baroreflex, especially when sympathetic stimulation is evoked during general anesthesia using sevoflurane-nitrous oxide (Sev-N2O).
methodsTwenty-seven patients were anesthetized with Sev-N2O, followed by surgical incision which induces Mayer wave augmentation. Baseline status before surgical incision was compared with that of 19 awake volunteers, and with status after surgical incision. Baroreflex function was assessed by gain and coherence by transfer function analysis, and the baroreflex effectiveness index (BEI). BP Mayer waves were measured by BP variability at a low frequency (LF) of ~0.1 Hz, and spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) was obtained by assessing transfer function gain at LF (BRSLF), and the sequence technique (BRSSEQ).
resultsSev-N2O anesthesia markedly reduced Mayer waves by 93%, BRSLF by 42%, BRSSEQ by 81%, BEI by 37%, coherence by 42%, and the number of coherent segments by 73%, compared with awake controls. During sympathetic stimulation by surgical incision, however, augmentation of Mayer waves (-1.57±0.72 vs. -0.60±1.00, ln mmHg2 P<0.001) did not improve depressed coherence above 0.5 (0.37±0.09 vs. 0.43±0.11) or BEI (0.17±0.13 vs. 0.13±0.05).
conclusionsSev-N2O anesthesia alters the link between HR and BP Mayer wave oscillation even during sympathetic stimulation, indicating weak spontaneous baroreceptor-HR modulation during general anesthesia.
