Effects of dexmedetomidine on immune function, renal function and inflammatory factors of patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy under general anesthesia.

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.
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
The present study was designed to determine the effects of dexmedetomidine on immune function, renal function and inflammatory factors in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy under general anesthesia. A total of 177 patients with kidney calculi who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University were enrolled, in which 91 patients were treated with dexmedetomidine during surgery (research group) and 86 patients were not sedated during surgery (control group). The vital signs, renal function, inflammatory factors and immune function during surgery between the two groups were compared. Patients in the research group showed improved vital signs, renal function, inflammatory factors and immune function compared with the control group (P<0.05), and also experienced a significantly shorter hospitalization time (P<0.001). Therefore, the present results suggested that with a relatively high safety profile, use of dexmedetomidine for sedation can effectively protect renal and immune functions, and reduce the inflammatory response of patients during percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Thus, dexmedetomidine may have be potentially applied in clinical practice.
