Vasovagal reactions in ultrasound guided musculoskeletal injections: A study of 2,462 procedures.
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveto determine the rate of the vasovagal reaction (VVR) in ultrasound guided musculoskeletal injections (USGIs) and to investigate effect of injection site, age, and gender on this rate. MATERIAL AND
methodsRetrospective analysis of all USGIs performed from the 1st of January 2019 to the 31st of December 2019 in single tertiary orthopaedic hospital. Two thousand four hundred and sixty two consecutive subjects undergoing USGIs were included. Statistical analysis used to determine the rate of the overall VVR in USGIs and to determine if site of the injection or joint injected has an effect on this rate as well as age and gender effect.
resultsOverall rate of VVR was 2.3% with shoulder and small joints of the hands and feet are more commonly affected than other sites. Females and patients aged younger than 65 years may be subjected to higher rate of VVR.
conclusionsVVR has an overall low occurrence in USGI. The higher rate of VVR for shoulder and small joints of hands and feet procedures. Care should be taken when positioning a patient prior to the procedure to allow for a VVR in case it happens. VVR are more likely to occur in females and less likely in age more than 65 years.
