The Effects of Intravenous Vitamin C on Stress Response Severity in Abdominal Hysterectomy Following Prolonged Fasting Time.
Article in Anesthesiology and pain medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundInevitable prolonged fasting time before surgery leads to inflammatory reactions, surgery-related stress response, and consequently unfavorable outcomes; thus, developing strategies to mitigate these consequences is crucial.
objectivesIn this study, we evaluated the effect of ascorbic acid on stress response reduction in abdominal hysterectomy following prolonged fasting time.
methodsEligible women candidates for abdominal hysterectomy following prolonged fasting time were enrolled in the study and divided into 2 groups of vitamin C [group C; 1 g intravenously (IV) before surgery] and placebo (group P). Before induction of anesthesia, C-reactive protein (CRP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and blood sugar (BS) were measured and compared between the 2 groups at 4-point times, 24 and 48 hours immediately after extubation.
resultsFinally, the data of 80 patients were included for the final analysis. A statistically significant difference was observed between the 2 groups in terms of CRP and BS values in T1 CRP serum levels; at the end of the study, CRP values were 0.5 ± 0.55 and 0.92 ± 0.69 in groups C and P, respectively (P = 0.012), and BS levels were 124.12 ± 18.11 and 152.0 ± 17.36 in groups C and P, respectively (P = 0.0001). However, this significant difference was not observed at T2 regarding CRP (P = 0.145) and BS (P = 0.135), as well as at T3 regarding CRP (P = 0.282) and BS (P = 0.213). However, according to both CRP and BS values, the trend of changes from T0 to T3 was significant in the 2 groups (P < 0.0001). Hemodynamic parameters were not significantly different between the 2 groups. No adverse event was reported in the 2 groups.
conclusionsWe found that ascorbic acid could induce short-term positive effects in abdominal hysterectomy following prolonged fasting time. Obviously, the optimal dosage, timing, and specific cases that benefit the most from this intervention should be investigated.
