Effect of Midazolam and Dexmedetomidine Sedation on the Onset and Duration of Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block: A Randomised Comparative Study.
Article in Turkish journal of anaesthesiology and reanimation, 2018. 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
objectiveProlonging the duration of sensory blockade with bupivacaine following supraclavicular brachial plexus block is desirable for improved postoperative pain management. This study was conducted to assess the effect of intravenous dexmedetomidine on the onset and duration of supraclavicular brachial plexus block using bupivacaine.
methodsSixty ASA I and II adult patients undergoing upper limb surgery under supraclavicular brachial plexus block were included in this prospective, randomised, double-blind study. They were randomly divided into two groups. The first group was administered midazolam at an initial dose of 0.04 mg kg
resultsThe onset of sensory block (16.6±1.9 vs. 19.8±1.7 min) and motor block (19.5±2.7 vs. 23.6±1.4 min) was significantly faster in the dexmedetomidine group than in the midazolam group (p<0.001). The duration of sensory block (738±66.3 vs. 307.7 ±46.7 min) and motor block (645.0±106.0 vs. 268.8±32.7 min) was significantly higher in the dexmedetomidine group than in the midazolam group (p<0.001).
conclusionIntravenous dexmedetomidine in combination with 25 mL of bupivacaine (0.5%) accelerated the onset of sensory and motor block and prolonged the duration of sensory and motor block when used for brachial plexus block, without resulting in any adverse events.
