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
Background Rocuronium consumption with or without intraoperative objective neuromuscular monitoring in clinical settings of unrestricted use of sugammadex and neuromuscular monitoring has not been reported earlier. The study aimed to investigate the association between the use of intraoperative objective neuromuscular monitoring and rocuronium consumption in patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery. Methods Data were collected by reviewing electronic medical records of patients who received laparoscopic abdominal surgery under general anesthesia with rocuronium and reversal with sugammadex at a university teaching hospital between May 2017 and April 2018. A multivariate linear regression model was developed to compare the amount of rocuronium consumption (mg) per weight (kg) per hour (mg/kg/h) between the group in which intraoperative objective neuromuscular monitoring was used (NMM+ group) and the group in which intraoperative neuromuscular monitoring was not used (NMM- group). Additionally, we performed an interaction test. Results A total of 429 patients were evaluated, with 371 patients (86%) included in the NMM+ group and 58 patients (14%) in the NMM- group. Log-transformed rocuronium consumption between the NMM+ group and NMM- group was not significantly different (back-transformed
