Application effects of remimazolam and propofol on elderly patients undergoing hip replacement.

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
objectiveTo explore the anesthetic and analgesic effects of remimazolam and propofol in elderly patients undergoing hip replacement and their effects on respiratory and circulatory systems, stress and cognitive function.
methodsSixty elderly patients undergoing elective hip replacement in the hospital were selected as the research subjects, and they were divided into the remimazolam group and the propofol group according to the admission sequence of patients. The remimazolam group was anesthetized with remimazolam, and the propofol group was anesthetized with propofol. The anesthesia-related indicators, perioperative pain degree [Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)], circulatory indicators [heart rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP)] before anesthesia (T
resultsAmong the 60 enrolled patients, only 1 case was excluded due to withdrawal, thus 30 cases in the remimazolam group and 29 cases in the propofol group were included. There were statistically significant differences in the heart rate, MAP, plasma epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol and VAS score in the two groups from the aspects of interaction effect and time-point effect (P < 0.05). The heart rate and MAP at T
conclusionCompared with propofol, remimazolam can achieve equivalent anesthetic and analgesic effects in elderly patients undergoing hip replacement. However, the latter one can significantly relieve respiratory and circulatory suppression, stress response and cognitive dysfunction, with good safety.
