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.

Abstract

backgroundActivation of NMDA receptors play an important role in the development of remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia. We hypothesized that in addition to ketamine, intrathecal MgSO4 could also relieve thermal and mechanical hyperalgesia in rats.

methodsInitially, 24 Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control group, remifentanil group, surgical incision group and remifentanil combined with surgical incision group to create an experimental model. Subsequently, 40 rats were divided into control group, model group, model group plus 100 μg MgSO4, 300 μg MgSO4 and 10 μg ketamine respectively. Paw withdrawal mechanical thresholds and paw withdrawal thermal latency tests were performed at -24 h, 2 h, 6 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 7 day after the surgical procedure. After behavior assessment on the 7th day, remifentanil was given again to ascertain whether or not NMDA antagonists could suppress the re-exposure of remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia.

resultsRemifentanil administration plus surgical incision induced significant postoperative hyperalgesia, as indicated by decreased paw withdrawal mechanical thresholds and paw withdrawal thermal latency to mechanical and thermal stimulation. In addition to ketamine, intrathecal MgSO4 (100, 300 μg) dose-dependently reduced remifentanil-induced mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia. Ketamine had less mechanical hyperalgesia in 6 h (p = 0.018), 24 h (p = 0.014) and 48 h (p = 0.011) than 300 μg MgSO4. There was no difference in inhibiting thermal hyperalgesia between the group ketamine and group MgSO4 (300 μg). The rats were given remifentanil again 7 days later after the first exposure of remifentanil. The hyperalgesic effect induced by re-exposure of remifentanil was not reversed in any groups of MgSO4 or ketamine.

conclusionsIn addition to ketamine, intrathecal administration of MgSO4 dose-dependently reduced remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia in a surgical incision mode. Re-exposure to remifentanil 1 week later again produced hyperalgesia, and this was not altered by the prior intrathecal treatments in any 4 groups treated with MgSO4 or ketamine.
