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

Background and Aims: Train of four (TOF) stimulation has been recommended to be used with neuromuscular blocking agents. The incidence of excellent intubating conditions with rocuronium, when used with TOF, is lacking. This study aimed to estimate the proportion of patients having excellent intubating conditions with rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg using TOF at adductor pollicis longus at T1 and T0, time to achieve T1 or T0 and incidence of sore throat, immediate and 24 hours post-extubation. Methods: This prospective non-randomised study was carried out in 250 patients of either sex, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I-II, undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia with tracheal intubation after rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg monitored by TOF. Patients were divided among T1 and T0 groups. Intubating conditions were assessed using the Copenhagen scale. Results were analysed using the Chi-square test and the Student's t-test. A Results: Intubating conditions were excellent in 84% patients (87.9% in group T0 and 80.1% in group T1, Conclusion: The proportion of patients having excellent intubating conditions with rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg was higher at T0 but not statistically significant. It takes 20 seconds longer to achieve T0 as compared to T1 with a lesser incidence of immediate and late sore throat.
