Intrathecal Tramadol for Prevention of Postanesthesia Shivering after Subarachnoid Block: A Prospective Randomized Placebo-Controlled Comparison of Two Different Doses (10 and 20 mg).
Article in Anesthesia, essays and researches. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundShivering is a common and distressing complication following subarachnoid block (SAB). Literature comparing the antishivering efficacy of different doses of intrathecal (IT) tramadol is lacking.
aimsThis prospective randomized controlled study was undertaken to evaluate and compare the antishivering efficacy of IT tramadol 10 and 20 mg.
methodsNinety adult patients undergoing lower limb orthopedic surgeries under SAB were randomized into three groups ( STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: Analysis of variance and Pearson Chi-square test were used for statistical analysis.
resultsThe incidence and intensity of shivering were significantly reduced in Group T10 versus C (incidence,
conclusionThe addition of tramadol 10 or 20 mg IT to 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine for SAB is associated with significant reduction in the incidence and intensity of postanesthesia shivering and prolongation of the duration of postoperative analgesia. Tramadol 20 mg IT compared to 10 mg IT significantly prolonged the duration of postoperative analgesia but failed to demonstrate any significant attenuation of postanesthesia shivering.
