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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThis study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of lower limb nerve block combined with slow induction of light general anesthesia and tracheal intubation in hip surgery in the elderly.

methodsThirty elderly patients who underwent hip surgery under the lower limb nerve block were randomly divided into 2 groups: slow induction of light general anesthesia and tracheal intubation group (group M), and laryngeal mask light general anesthesia group (group H). After undergoing total intravenous anesthesia without muscle relaxants, all patients received sciatic nerve, lumbar plexus, and paravertebral nerve blocks. The hemodynamic situations, dosage of anesthetics, time for awakening and extubation (or laryngeal mask removal), and incidence of respiratory adverse reactions in the induction period were recorded.

resultsCompared with baseline levels, the difference in mean arterial pressure (MAP) value at each time point after intubation/laryngeal mask removal in both groups was not statistically significant (P > .05). Furthermore, the time for awakening and extubation/laryngeal mask removal, and anesthetic dosage were significantly decreased in group M, when compared with group H (P < .05). For the incidence of adverse reactions, the incidence of poor sealing and hypoxia was significantly lower in group M than in group H (P < .05), and the incidence of sore throat was significantly lower in group H than in group M (P < .05).

conclusionLower limb nerve block combined with slow induction of light general anesthesia and tracheal intubation was associated with smaller anesthetic dosage, and shorter duration of anesthesia induction and extubation/laryngeal mask after surgery.
