Effects of dexmedetomidine on oxygenation and inflammatory factors in patients undergoing uvulopalatopharyngoplasty: a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled trial.
Trial report in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03612440 (Effects of Dexmedetomidine on Oxygenation Index, Respiratory Index and Inflammatory Factors in Patients Undergoing Palatopalatyngoplasty), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
purposeUvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) can aggravate lung inflammatory reactions in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS). Dexmedetomidine (Dex) is a selective α-2 adrenoreceptor agonist that can alleviate lung injury. This study was designed to investigate the effects of Dex on oxygenation and inflammatory factors in patients undergoing UPPP in the early perioperative period.
methodsPatients with OSAS undergoing UPPP were randomly allocated to the Dex Group or Control Group. Arterial blood gas analyses were performed, and the respiratory index (RI) and oxygenation index (OI) were calculated upon entering the operating room (T
resultsA total of 44 patients with OSAS were randomized. There was no significant difference in basic patient characteristics between the two groups. The preoperative RI and OI were not significantly different between the two groups, but they were altered immediately after surgery relative to the corresponding preoperative value (p < 0.05). Compared with the Control Group, the RI was significantly lower at T
conclusionDexmedetomidine can improve the oxygenation and inhibit the inflammatory response in patients undergoing UPPP in the early perioperative period.
