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

backgroundThere is very little data on the optimal anaesthetic management of ring-tailed lemurs, and the available information is mostly based on extrapolation from other species. In addition, a thorough pre-anaesthetic assessment of lemurs might not be possible without prior chemical immobilization, making a safe immobilization protocol essential. CASE PRESENTATION: Three ring-tailed lemurs (

conclusionsThe combination of intramuscular alfaxalone, butorphanol and midazolam provided a clinically useful sedation/immobilization in ring-tailed lemurs with only minor complications such as mild hypothermia, hypotension, hypoventilation and bradycardia. This protocol could be considered in ring-tailed lemurs that need to be immobilized for minor procedures, or as a pre-anaesthetic premedication, especially if a full pre-anaesthetic clinical exam is not possible.
