Premedication for Induced Hypotension in Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgeries: Intravenous Dexmedetomidine Infusion vs Oral Metoprolol vs Placebo: A Comparative Study.
Article in Anesthesia, essays and researches. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundControlled hypotension has been used to reduce bleeding and the need for blood transfusions and provide a satisfactory bloodless surgical field. In this double-blind, randomized controlled trial, we are comparing intravenous (i.v.) dexmedetomidine infusion and oral metoprolol as a premedication for controlled hypotension in functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) for evaluating surgical field visibility. SUBJECTS AND
methodsA total of 90 patients undergoing FESS were randomly divided into three groups of 30 each. Group A received intraoperative i.v. infusion of dexmedetomidine (loading 1 μg.kg
resultsThe three groups were statistically comparable in demographics. Quality of surgical field was better in Group A compared to other two groups. Total blood loss was also less in Group A. The incidence of adverse reactions was more in Group A.
conclusionDexmedetomidine provides a better surgical field compared to oral metoprolol in FESS along with the desired hemodynamics with lesser blood loss and better outcome.
