Effects of intraoperative dexmedetomidine infusion on renal function in elective living donor kidney transplantation: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Canadian journal of anaesthesia = Journal canadien d'anesthesie, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03327389 (Effect of Dexmedetomidine on Renal Function and Delayed Graft Function After Kidney Transplantation), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
purposeIschemia-reperfusion injury is inevitable during donor organ harvest and recipient allograft reperfusion in kidney transplantation, and affects graft outcomes. Dexmedetomidine, an α2-adrenoreceptor agonist, has renoprotective effects against ischemia-reperfusion injury. We investigated the effects of intraoperative dexmedetomidine infusion on renal function and the development of delayed graft function after elective living donor kidney transplantation in a randomized controlled trial.
methodsA total of 104 patients were randomly assigned to receive either an intraoperative infusion of dexmedetomidine 0.4 μg·kg
resultsThe mean (standard deviation) serum creatinine level on POD 7 was comparable between the groups (dexmedetomidine vs control: 1.11 [0.87] mg·dL
conclusionsIntraoperative dexmedetomidine infusion did not produce any beneficial effects on renal function or delayed graft function in patients undergoing elective living donor kidney transplantation. STUDY REGISTRATION: www. CLINICALTRIALS: gov (NCT03327389); registered 31 October 2017.
