Development and Stability of a New Formulation of Pentobarbital Suppositories for Paediatric Procedural Sedation.
Article in Pharmaceutics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Pentobarbital is a drug of choice to limit motion in children during paediatric procedural sedations (PPSs). However, despite the rectal route being preferred for infants and children, no pentobarbital suppositories are marketed, and therefore they must be prepared by compounding pharmacies. In this study, two suppository formulations of 30, 40, 50, and 60 mg of pentobarbital sodium were developed using hard-fat Witepsol
