Effects of intrathecal and intravenous dexamethasone on complications associated with intrathecal morphine after cesarean section: A comparative study.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundPain and nausea and vomiting are of serious complications following the use of opiates after surgery, especially cesarean section. Control of postoperative complications is one of the necessities of quality promotion of health-care system. Medications with few side effects such as corticosteroids including dexamethasone can be an appropriate option. In addition, the route of administration can have a significant effect on the effectiveness of the drug. The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of intrathecal with intravenous dexamethasone in reducing the complications associated with intrathecal morphine after cesarean section. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study was a double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial and determined the effect of intrathecal and intravenous dexamethasone on the incidence and severity of complications of intrathecal morphine after cesarean section on 120 patients and its relationship with serious complications after surgery. Descriptive and analytical statistics were used to examine the characteristics of the case and control groups, and STATA SPSS software was used to compare the two groups.
resultsThere was no significant association between the two groups in terms of baseline characteristics. Pain score in the intrathecal injection group was lower than the intravenous injection group, with a statistically significant difference (
conclusionDexamethasone was effective to reduce opiate complications after cesarean section. Establishing a suitable association between dexamethasone half-life, efficacy, type of use, and time of use can result the best outcomes and promote patients' satisfaction in cesarean section.
