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

Oculocardiac reflex (OCR), presenting as bradycardia and asystole, is a potential intraoperative complication that may occur during maxillofacial trauma surgery. Bradycardia is the most common symptom of this phenomenon. Surgeons should be aware of its long-term effects, such as arrhythmias and even cardiac arrest. We report the case of a 40-year-old male patient with a fracture of the floor of the orbit. During a surgical exploration of the orbital floor, the patient exhibited sudden symptoms of OCR. It was managed by withholding the surgery and administering atropine. The article also highlights the mechanism, types, incidence, and management of OCR in patients with maxillofacial trauma.
