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

Dyspnoea is a debilitating symptom in medicine, especially in palliative care. Opioids are the pharmacological agents of choice in the treatment of dyspnoea in palliative medicine. Morphine is the best-studied opioid, and recent literature on oxycodone is encouraging. In refractory cases, opioid infusion and palliative sedation may have to be used. We present a case that used oxycodone in a patient-controlled device specifically for dyspnoea and its effects in relieving dyspnoea in a fast and timely manner. This helped in meeting the demands of the patient and relieving suffering rapidly with less sedation. This case report is unique in the use of an oxycodone patient-controlled device specifically for dyspnoea.
