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 aimed to estimate the optimal dose of sufentanil, coadministered with 2.5 mg/kg propofol, for satisfactory laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion conditions in Chinese children and to determine the optimal bolus dose.

methodsSeventy-five Chinese children aged 2 to 6 years with the American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I or II, undergoing elective minor surgery were recruited. They were randomly divided into 5 different dosage groups (0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2 μg/kg). A predetermined sufentanil diluted with 5 mL saline was injected 30 s, 200 s later, followed by 2.5 mg/kg propofol over 10 s. After that the insertion conditions were assessed, using a 6-category score. The duration of apnea was recorded. A Probit analysis was performed to determine the ED50 and ED95 with 95% confidence interval for optimal conditions.

resultsThere were less hemodynamic changes in all sufentanil groups than propofol-only group, with 0.2 μg/kg patients showing the most stable cardiovascular responses and best insertion conditions. However, the duration of apnea increased with the increasing dosage of sufentanil. From Probit analysis, the ED50 and ED95 of sufentanil for optimum score were 0.064 μg/kg and 0.177 μg/kg, respectively.

conclusionIn combination with propofol for anesthesia induction in Chinese children, sufentanil 0.2 μg/kg could prevent patients from dramatic hemodynamic change, providing satisfactory LMA insertion conditions.
