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

objectiveThe purpose of our study was to observe the influence of dexmedetomidine on complications caused by hemabate in patients undergoing caesarean section.

methodsA total of 120 females (age range, 20-40 years) at 35-40 weeks gestation who delivered by cesarean between September, 2014 and December, 2014 were enrolled in our study. Patients were randomly allocated into three groups that received intravenously physiological saline 20 mL (placebo group), lower dose (0.5 μg kg(-1)) of dexmedetomidine (low-dex gruop) and higher dose (1 μg kg(-1)) of dexmedetomidine (high-dex group) during cesarean section, following the delivery of the infant and intramuscular hemabate injection.

resultsNausea, vomiting, chest congestion and elevated blood pressure were the most common adverse events of placebo group. Compared with placebo group, the above mentioned adverse reactions decreased significantly in both low-dex group and high-dex group (P<0.05), whereas there were no significant difference between low-dex group and high-dex group (P>0.05). As to patient satisfaction score, low-dex group and high-dex group were all higher than placebo group (P<0.05). Furthermore, there were more patients satisfied with high-dex group than low-dex group (P<0.05).

conclusionDexmedetomidine (0.5 μg kg(-1) and 1 μg kg(-1)) were all effective in preventing adverse reactions introduced by hemabate and improve parturients' satisfaction in patients undergoing cesarean delivery. And higher dose (1 μg kg(-1)) of dexmedetomidine is superior to lower dose (0.5 μg kg(-1)) in patient satisfaction.
