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

Reversal of neuromuscular blockage induced by steroidal neuromuscular blocking agents such as rocuronium can be achieved using normal dose of sugammadex, which has been shown to be very effective for such reversal. In this study, we determined the effects of sugammadex on calcineurin immunoreactivity by examining the histopathological and histochemical structure of rat testis cells after neuromuscular blockage. Moreover, the regional distribution levels of calcineurin immunopositive testes cells were investigated. Eighteen adult male, Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into one control and two study groups. Study groups 1 and 2 rats received sugammadex at doses of 16 and 96 mg kg(-1) i.v., respectively, after rocuronium treatment (mg kg(-1) i.v.). The control group received intravenous 0.9% NaCl 1 ml. i.v without any drug. Our study demonstrates that sugammadex is safe and effective for reversal of rocuronium effects in rats, as well as in other animals and humans. Furthermore, histopathological examination indicates that high levels of sugammadex-rocuronium complexes accumulate a little in testis tissue. We found that rocuronium-sugammadex complexes were remained in circulation for a long time resulting in a decrease in interstitial space, testis size, germ cell numbers and Leydig cell numbers. Calcineurin immunoreactivity was higher in the experimental groups than the control group due to increase of calcium level. The results suggest that sugammadex-rocuronium complexes are cause histopathological and immunohistochemical changes in testis interstitial tissues, as well as changes in sperm density and germ cell number.
