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

objectiveTo compare the clinical outcome following induction of general anaesthesia with intravenous (IV) injection of propofol (P), etomidate (E) or a 50% admixture of propofol and etomidate (PE).

methodsIn this prospective, randomised, double-blind controlled study, patients 18-60 years of age who were undergoing elective surgery with general anaesthesia were randomised to receive either propofol 2.5 mg kg

resultsWe observed a decrease in systemic haemodynamics from baseline following induction in group P compared to groups E and PE (p<0.05). Incidence of myoclonus was reduced from 76.6% in group E to 6.6% in group PE (p<0.001). There was also a reduction in reported pain upon injection in group PE compared to group P (p<0.001). Although we found no statistically significant difference between the three groups when assessing postoperative nausea and vomiting, these symptoms were more prevalent in groups E and PE than in group P.

conclusionUsing an admixture of etomidate and propofol as the induction agent reduced the incidence of side effects observed with use of either drug alone such as pain upon injection, myoclonus and haemodynamic instability.
