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

Background/aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of pregabalin on ischemia-reperfusion injuries. Materials and methods: Fifty-four patients were randomly assigned into 2 groups. A 150-mg tablet of pregabalin was given the night before and then 1 h before the operation for patients in Group P (pregabalin group, n = 27). A placebo was given to patients in Group C (control group, n = 27) at the same times. After combined spinal-epidural anesthesia was performed, venous blood samples were taken before tourniquet inflation (t1), just before tourniquet deflation (t2), and 20 min after tourniquet deflation (t3) for the analysis of total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), catalase (CAT), and ischemia-modified albumin (IMA). Results: There was no significant difference in TAS levels between the groups for the t3 period. However, the TAS in Group P was significantly higher in the t3 period than the t2 period (mean ± SD, 0.46 ± 0.1 vs. 0.38 ± 0.2 mmol of Trolox equivalent/L, respectively; P < 0.05). The CAT level in the t3 period was significantly higher in Group P than Group C (mean ± SD, 53.04 ± 32.1 vs. 35.46 ± 17.2 μmol/ formaldehyde, respectively; P < 0.05). In the t3 period, the TOS was significantly lower in Group P than Group C (mean ± SD, 11.97 ± 5 vs. 18.29 ± 9.9 pg/mL, respectively; P < 0.05). The TOS in Group P was significantly lower in the t3 period than the t2 period (mean ± SD, 11.97 ± 5 vs. 18.98 ± 10.7 pg/mL, respectively; P < 0.0001). Conclusion: Pregabalin has no marked antioxidant activity, but it contributes to the antioxidant defense system of an organism.
