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

objective5-HT3 receptor antagonists are known to possess local anesthetic properties and are commonly used for the alleviation of pain following propofol injection. Palonosetron, a newer molecule, has shown contradictory results for this property. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of palonosetron pretreatment in alleviating propofol injection pain with that of lignocaine. Their comparative effect on various hemodynamic parameters was also evaluated.

methodsA total of 100 adult patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: group L received lignocaine 40 mg in 5 mL of 0.9% saline pretreatment solution and group P received 0.075 mg palonosetron in 5 mL 0.9% of saline pretreatment solution. After 2 minutes, the tourniquet was released and one-fourth of the total calculated dose of propofol was administered, after which the pain assessment was made. The Students t-test was used for comparing the difference of mean between the two groups after testing for equality of variance using F-statistics. Categorical variables were expressed as a percentage, and the Chi-square test was performed to assess the independence of attributes. Repeated-measure analysis of variance was used to compare the change in heart rate and mean arterial pressure over three time points between the two groups.

resultsThe proportion of pain reported by the subjects in the lignocaine group was significantly lower as compared to the subjects in the palonosetron group (p=0.001). No significant difference of mean heart rate and mean arterial pressure was observed between the two groups following these interventions.

conclusionThe efficacy of palonosetron in alleviating the pain on injection of propofol was significantly less than that of lignocaine.
