1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

aimCurrent non-invasive near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) tissue oximetry suffers from suboptimal reproducibility over probe repositioning, hindering clinical threshold establishment. Time Domain-NIRS (TD-NIRS) offers higher precision but lacks sufficient paediatric data, preventing effective clinical application. We aimed to establish reference ranges for cerebral and mid-upper arm (MUA) tissue haemodynamics in paediatric subjects using TD-NIRS and explore correlations with auxological variables.

methodsTD-NIRS measurements were conducted acquiring data from cerebral and MUA regions with the NIRSBOX tissue oximeter. Morphological and clinically relevant information were collected to explore potential correlations with TD-NIRS derived parameters.

resultsTD-NIRS assessment was applied in 350 children (8.4 ± 5.0 years). Precision of TD-NIRS was demonstrated with standard deviations of 0.9% (StO

conclusionThis study reports resting-state optical and haemodynamic values for a healthy paediatric population, providing a foundation for future investigations into clinically relevant deviations in these parameters. Furthermore, correlations with anthropometric and demographic values provide valuable insights for a deeper understanding of tissue haemodynamic evolution in childhood.
