The effect of magnesium sulfate on surgical field during endoscopic sinus surgery: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Synthesis in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionThe benefits of magnesium sulfate for surgical field during endoscopic sinus surgery remain controversial. We conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the influence of magnesium sulfate versus placebo on surgical field during endoscopic sinus surgery.
methodsWe search PubMed, EMbase, Web of science, EBSCO, and Cochrane library databases through November 2018 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effect of magnesium sulfate versus placebo on surgical field during endoscopic sinus surgery. This meta-analysis is performed using the random-effect model.
resultsFour RCTs and 404 patients are included in the meta-analysis. Overall, compared with control group endoscopic sinus surgery, magnesium sulfate has remarkably positive impact on surgical field scores (MD = -1.76; 95% CI = -2.33 to -1.18; P < .00001), and intraoperative blood loss (MD = -89.09; 95% CI = -163.20 to -14.97; P = .02), but shows no markedly effect on surgery duration (MD = -7.08; 95% CI = -21.38 to 7.22; P = .33), fentanyl (MD = -0.64; 95% CI = -1.97 to 0.70; P = .35), and vecuronium (MD = -3.64; 95% CI = -10.99 to 3.70; P = .33).
conclusionsMagnesium sulfate exerts positive impact on surgical field and blood loss reduction for endoscopic sinus surgery.
