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

Introduction: Anaesthetising a pregnant woman and during the postpartum period is challenging for most anaesthetists. There are many factors involved, including all the physiological changes that occur in the body of such a woman. Particular attention should be paid to muscle relaxants. Aim: The purpose of this article is to present the use of muscle relaxants in pregnancy and puerperium period. Material and Methods: This work is based on the available literature and the authors' experience. Conclusion: In our experience and from a broad review of the medical literature, a great deal of caution should be exercised when using muscle relaxants during the anaesthesia of pregnant or postpartum patients. The pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic differences in the action of this group of drugs during this period should be known.
