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

Here we report on a postoperative living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) patient who received nightly infusions of dexmedetomidine (DEX), a specific alpha2-adrenergic receptor agonist, to treat agitation and insomnia during an intensive care unit stay. The infusion rate was adjusted according to the Ramsay sedation score. The actual plasma concentrations were higher than the values predicted by RugLoop software package simulation 9 h after the DEX infusion. However, all of the measurements were within the therapeutic range for DEX. Thus, DEX infusion could be safely used in the postoperative LDLT patient by employing a simple consciousness scale.
