Impact of preoperative oral domperidone on gastric residual volume after clear fluid ingestion in patients scheduled for elective surgery: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Anaesthesiology intensive therapy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionOral domperidone is a prokinetic drug that enhances gastric emptying, which has a positive effect in decreasing gastric residual volume (GRV), subsequently decreasing the risk of pulmonary aspiration. This study aimed to assess the effect of preoperative oral domperidone on gastric residual volume, detected by ultrasound for patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis randomized double-blinded controlled placebo trial was conducted in 40 patients who were randomly assigned to two equal groups: the domperidone group (D) ( n = 20): patients received 400 mL of apple juice as a clear fluid, two hours preoperatively, and an oral domperidone 10 mg tablet; and the placebo group (P) ( n = 20): patients received 400 mL of apple juice as a clear fluid two hours preoperatively with a placebo tablet. Gastric residual volume detected by ultrasound was the primary outcome and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) was the secondary outcome.
resultsThere was no statistically significant difference in the mean gastric residual volume detected by ultrasound between groups after 1 hour ( P > 0.05). However, the mean gastric residual volume detected by ultrasound after 2 hours was statistically significantly lower with domperidone (55.95 ± 6.72 mL) than with the placebo group (70.22 ± 13.00 mL) ( P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between groups regarding PONV, with a P -value > 0.05.
conclusionsPreoperative oral domperidone intake was effective in decreasing the GRV measured by ultrasound.
