Oxycodone for prevention of etomidate-induced myoclonus: a randomized double-blind controlled trial.
Trial report in The Journal of international medical research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Objective This study was performed compare the effectiveness of oxycodone and fentanyl in reducing the incidence and severity of etomidate-induced myoclonus. Methods In total, 162 patients with an American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status of I or II were assigned at random to three groups. Patients assigned to Group O received 0.1 mg/kg of oxycodone (n = 54), those assigned to Group F were given 1 µg/kg of fentanyl (n = 54), and those assigned to Group S were given an equal volume of saline intravenously 2 minutes prior to administration of 0.3 mg/kg of etomidate (n = 54). The incidence and severity of myoclonus was evaluated 2 minutes after etomidate administration. The patients' vital signs, coughing, nausea, dizziness, and other related adverse reactions were also recorded. Results The incidence of myoclonus was significantly lower in Group O (0.0%) than in Group F (31.5%) and Group S (72.2%); the intensity was also lowest in Group O. All patients in each group had stable cardiovascular profiles. Conclusions Intravenous injection of 0.1 mg/kg of oxycodone 2 minutes prior to etomidate is more effective in preventing etomidate-induced myoclonus during general anesthesia than is 1 µg/kg of fentanyl.
