Practical Considerations for Dexmedetomidine Sedation in Adult Cataract Surgery Under Local/Regional Anesthesia: A Narrative Review.
Review in Anesthesiology and pain medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Cataract surgery is predominantly performed under local/regional anesthesia, with or without sedation. The practice pattern of sedation is unknown and seems to vary significantly among institutions and countries, routinely administered in some parts of the world to the other extreme of none at all. The selection of sedative agents and techniques varies widely. Currently, there is no ideal sedative agent. Dexmedetomidine has gained recent attention for sedation in ophthalmic local/regional anesthesia due to its alleged advantages of effective sedation with minimal respiratory depression, decreased intraocular pressure, and reduced pain during the local anesthetic injection; however, they are subject to differing interpretations. Published literature also suggests that although dexmedetomidine sedation for cataract surgery under local/regional anesthesia is potentially useful, its role may be limited due to logistical difficulties in administering the recommended dose.
