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

Objective: Hypotension is the most frequent side effect of intrathecal anaesthesia, with an incidence of more than 80%. Following neuraxial anaesthesia, perioperative shivering is a serious complication affecting 40-60% of patients undergoing surgery. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of low-dose ketamine on blood pressure in patients undergoing cesarean delivery after spinal anaesthesia. Methods: We included 126 female patients undergoing cesarean deliveries, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA)-(II and III), and aged 21-40 selected from the outpatient clinics of the anaesthesia department. Patients were randomized to two groups; Group K (63 patients), who received 0.3 mg kg Results: Compared with the saline group, the average heart rate, blood pressure, and level of sedation were significantly higher in the ketamine group ( Conclusion: Ketamine decreases the incidence of hypotension and shivering in patients undergoing spinal anaesthesia during cesarean delivery. In addition, it resulted in improved sedation for the mother and prolonged postoperative analgesia without neonatal illness.
