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

To develop a means of euthanasia to support rapid time-course pharmacokinetic studies in mice, we compared retroorbital and intravenous lateral tail vein injection of ketamine-xylazine with regard to preparation time, utility, tissue distribution, and time to onset of euthanasia. Tissue distribution and time to onset of euthanasia did not differ between administration methods. However, retroorbital injection could be performed more rapidly than intravenous injection and was considered to be a technically simple and superior alternative for mouse euthanasia. Retroorbital ketamine-xylazine, CO(2) gas, and intraperitoneal pentobarbital then were compared as euthanasia agents in a rapid time-point pharmacokinetic study. Retroorbital ketamine-xylazine was the most efficient and consistent of the 3 methods, with an average time to death of approximately 5 s after injection. In addition, euthanasia by retroorbital ketamine-xylazine enabled accurate sample collection at closely spaced time points and satisfied established criteria for acceptable euthanasia technique.
