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

purposeSugammadex is used to reverse neuromuscular block induced by rocuronium or vecuronium by forming a stable complex. If the binding capacity of any substance to sugammadex is large enough, this molecule will displace rocuronium or vecuronium from the complex. For drugs used in anesthesia, the binding affinity of remifentanil for sugammadex was highest. The aim of the current study was to investigate the decrease in the reversal of neuromuscular blockade with sugammadex by complex formation between remifentanil and sugammadex in the model using isolated hemidiaphragm of the rat.

methodsPhrenic nerve-hemidiaphragms from 34 male Sprague-Dawley rats were allocated randomly to four groups: 0 or 100 ng/ml remifentanil with equimolar amounts of sugammadex and 0 or 100 ng/ml remifentanil with three-quarter dose of sugammadex. Muscle contraction responses were recorded during the stimulation of the phrenic nerve by train-of-four (TOF) stimulation. Rocuronium was added to the organ bath with or without 100 ng/ml remifentanil until the first height response (T1) of TOF disappeared completely. Then, equimolar amounts or three-quarter dose of sugammadex was added.

resultsRemifentanil has no significant effects on the concentration-response curves of rocuronium. No significant differences were observed in the recoveries of T1 and TOF ratio with time after administration of equimolar amounts or three-quarter dose of sugammadex regardless of the presence of 100 ng/ml remifentanil.

conclusionClinical concentration of remifentanil does not inhibit sugammadex reversal after rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block. Sugammadex can be used safely without worrying about the interaction with remifentanil.
