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

The management of a patient with two undiagnosed neuroendocrine tumors and possible malignant hyperthermia (MH) susceptibility poses a unique challenge to the anesthesiologist. We describe a total intravenous anesthetic including an alpha 2-agonist infusion combined with epidurally administered bupivacaine for intra- and postoperative pain management. Alpha 2-agonists may offer improved intraoperative hemodynamic management in patients with catecholamine-secreting tumors and reduce the total dose needed for intravenous anesthetics such as propofol. The latter mechanism may be useful to avert the risk of the propofol infusion syndrome occurring as a consequence of a high cumulative dose following its prolonged administration.
