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

introductionDespite the availability of wide variety of pharmacological agents for dental procedural sedation, there has always been a continuous search for newer sedative agents. Dexmedetomidine is a newer sedative agent for provision of short-term sedation (<24 h) in adult patients in the intensive care unit setting. It is a selective α2 adrenergic receptor agonist. The reports on off-label use of this drug in a variety of settings for invasive and non invasive procedural sedation have provided encouraging results. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe present paper reports a pilot study observing clinical efficacy of the newer drug dexmedetomidine in patients undergoing office based sliding genioplasty for correction of facial asymmetry. Subjects were sedated with dexmedetomidine with a loading dose of 0.5 mcg/kg over 10 min followed by a continuous infusion dose of 0.1 mcg/kg/h, the recovery process was observed for 60 min after the dexmedetomidine infusion was stopped. The patients were observed pre operatively, intra operatively (every 10 min) and postoperatively for the following parameters-oxygen saturation (SpO2), mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and Ramsay sedation score (RSS), respiratory rate, pain scale.
