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

Background: We hypothesized that increasing our intrathecal fentanyl dose for cesarean delivery from 10 µg to 15 µg would result in fewer patients receiving a rescue analgesia intervention. Methods: Patients who had a cesarean delivery from February 15, 2021 to February 14, 2023 and received a single injection spinal or combined spinal-epidural anesthetic for cesarean delivery were eligible for inclusion. We defined a rescue analgesia intervention as administration of local anesthetic through an epidural catheter, administration of systemic anesthetic adjuvant medication, or conversion to general anesthesia. Results: A total of 520 and 556 patients received 10 µg and 15 µg of intrathecal fentanyl for cesarean delivery, respectively, of which 154 (29.6%) and 122 (21.9%) patients required rescue analgesia interventions, respectively ( Conclusion: Following implementation of an increased dose of intrathecal fentanyl, patients who received 15 µg of intrathecal fentanyl for cesarean delivery were approximately 33% less likely to require a rescue analgesia intervention during cesarean delivery compared to patients who received 10 µg.
