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.

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.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND

aimsLocal anesthetic injection in the peritoneal cavity decreases intensity of postoperative pain after laparoscopic surgeries. We compared adding dexmedetomidine to intraperitoneal levobupivacaine in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

methodsA total of 105 patients were included in this prospective, double-blinded, randomized study. Patients were randomly divided into three equal sized (

resultsPostoperative VAS at different time intervals was significantly lower, time to the first demand of painkiller (min) was longer (30.2 ± 14.4, 45.9 ± 20.1, and 56.5 ± 13.2), and total painkiller consumption (mg) was lower (203.5 ± 42.9, 117.8 ± 63.7, and 46.3 ± 41.3) in Group LD than Group L than Group C.

conclusionAdding dexmedetomidine to intraperitoneal levobupivacaine is superior to and gives better results than levobupivacaine alone in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
