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

INTRODUCTION AND

objectivesDifferent regional anesthesia techniques for ophthalmology can have hemodynamic effects on the eye. We assessed the effects of adding clonidine to lidocaine on Intraocular Pressure (IOP), Ocular Pulse Amplitude (OPA), and Ocular Perfusion Pressure (OPP) after the sub-Tenon's technique for cataract surgery.

methodsThe study included 40 patients randomly allocated into two groups: sub-Tenon's blockade with Lidocaine plus Saline Solution (LS) or Lidocaine plus Clonidine (LC). IOP, OPA and OPP were measured before anesthesia, and 1, 5 and 10 minutes after the injection of anesthetic solution.

resultsThere was no difference between the groups in IOP, OPA, and OPP baseline values. After the injection of the anesthetic solution, the IOP increased in both groups at minute one, with a mean difference of +4.67 mmHg (p = 0.001) and +2.15 mmHg (p = 0.013) at 5 minutes. The increase was lower in the LC group when compared to LS (p = 0.027). OPA decreased in both groups, with a baseline difference, after 1 minute, of -0.85 mmHg (p =  -0.85 mmHg (p = 0.001), and at 5 and 10 minutes with differences of -1.17 (p = 0.001) and -0.89 mmHg (p = 0.001), respectively. The highest decrease was observed in group LC in relation to group LS (p = 0.03). There was no difference in OPP in relation to baseline measurements.

conclusionsAdding clonidine to lidocaine for sub-Tenon's anesthesia reduced IOP and OPA without significant changes in OPP.
