Study of wrist-ankle acupuncture therapy for optimizing anaesthesia scheme of painless gastroscopy and improving painless gastroscopy related complications.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal endoscopy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundPainless gastroscopy is a widely used diagnostic and therapeutic technology in clinical practice. Propofol combined with opioids is a common drug for painless endoscopic sedation and anaesthesia. In clinical work, adverse drug reactions of anaesthesia schemes are often one of the important areas of concern for doctors and patients. With the increase in propofol dosage, the risk of serious adverse drug reactions, such as respiratory depression and hypotension, increases significantly; the use of opioids often causes gastrointestinal reactions in patients after examination, such as nausea, vomiting, delayed recovery of gastrointestinal function and other complications, which seriously affect their quality of life.
aimTo observe the effect of wrist-ankle acupuncture therapy on the anaesthesia regimen and anaesthesia-related complications during and after painless gastroscopy examination.
methodsTwo hundred patients were selected and randomly divided into a treatment group (
resultsThe general data before treatment, American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) grade and operation time between the two groups was no significant difference. The Wakeup time, and the Self-ambulation time in the treatment group was significantly faster than that in the control group (
conclusionWrist-ankle acupuncture treatment can optimize the painless gastroscopy and anaesthesia scheme, reduces propofol total dose; shortens patient Wakeup time and Self-ambulation time, improves patient compliance and tolerance, is beneficial to clinical application.
