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

WHAT IS KNOWN AND

objectiveIntraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) has been widely used in clinical practice. Therefore, the influence of neuromuscular blockers essential for spinal anaesthesia on IONM is worthy of our attention, but no randomized study has evaluated the dose-response effect. This study investigated the effects of different doses of rocuronium bromide on the intraoperative monitoring of motor evoked potentials (MEPs).

methodsWe conducted a randomized, double-blind trial to assess the effects of three rocuronium bromide doses (6.0, 9.0, 12 μg·kg RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: A total of 123 patients were enrolled, and 120 patients were ultimately analysed. No differences were observed in the amplitude of SEPs among the three groups (p > 0.05). The MEP amplitude differences at T WHAT IS NEW AND

conclusionRocuronium bromide at a rate of 9.0 μg·kg
