Comparing Effectiveness and Safety of Intravenous Atropine with Topical Tetracaine in Preventing and Relieving Oculocardiac Reflex in Patients Undergoing Strabismus Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Article in Advanced biomedical research, 2024. 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
Background: Oculocardiac reflex (OCR) is one of the serious complications following surgical therapeutic procedures for strabismus. Various medications have been tested to prevent or mitigate this complication. We aimed to compare the effect of intravenous atropine and topical tetracaine on the incidence and severity of OCR in strabismus surgery. Materials and Methods: In this triple-blind randomized clinical trial study, 120 patients who were candidates for strabismus surgery were randomly assigned to receive intravenous atropine, topical tetracaine, or artificial tears as the control. The incidence of OCR and its severity along with the changes in hemodynamic conditions were compared across the groups. Results: The incidence rate of OCR in the groups receiving atropine, tetracaine, and the control was found to be 17.5%, 25.0%, and 32.5% in the releasing phase without any difference, respectively ( Conclusion: The injection of atropine can effectively reduce the incidence of OCR during strabismus surgery and reduce its severity if this reflex occurs.
