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

objectiveAmino acids attenuate hypothermia during the perioperative period by increasing thermogenesis and stimulating energy consumption. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) induces profound hypothermia owing to the use of large volumes of irrigating fluids. The role of amino acids in this group of surgeries for hypothermia and shivering prevention has been evaluated in this study because there is no available literature of concern.

methodsThis prospective randomised controlled trial was conducted in patients undergoing PCNL. Group A received amino acids at 60 mL h-1 an hour before surgery until the end of surgery. Group C received normal saline infusion. Perioperative nasopharyngeal temperature, haemodynamics, and postoperative shivering were recorded.

resultsAlthough there was no significant difference in temperature in the intraoperative period, postoperative decrease in the temperature was less in the amino acid group. In the postoperative period, 2 patients in the amino acid group and 11 patients in the control group experienced shivering.

conclusionIntravenous administration of amino acids attenuated postoperative hypothermia and reduced shivering in patients undergoing PCNL without any adverse effects.
