Comparative preoperative sonological assessment of gastric contents in patients with chronic kidney disease versus those with normal renal function - A prospective observational study.
Article in Indian journal of anaesthesia, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background and Aims: Though the role of fasting preoperative gastric ultrasound has been validated in different patient populations, namely, obese, pregnant and diabetics, it has not been explored in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This prospective, observational study compared the fasting sonological assessment of gastric contents in patients with CKD versus those with normal renal function scheduled for elective surgery. Methods: After ethical approval and trial registration were obtained, preoperative gastric ultrasound was done in 115 CKD patients and 115 with normal renal function. Qualitative and quantitative assessment of residual gastric volume was done. Also, the patients were administered the Porto Alegre Dyspeptic Symptoms Questionnaire (PADYQ) to evaluate gastroparesis objectively. The researcher was not blinded to the patient groups. Data analyses were done using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows software (version 22.0). Results: Gastric volumes exceeding 1.5 ml/kg or particulate or solid contents were found in 57 patients with CKD and 36 patients with normal renal function ( Conclusion: Renal dysfunction contributes to delayed gastric emptying. PADYQ can also help identify those at high risk of gastroparesis. Combining the questionnaire and preoperative gastric ultrasound must be considered in these patients to ensure optimum safety.
