Lidocaine and Dexamethasone, Ketamine and Dexamethasone, and Dexamethasone Alone in Tonsillectomy Complications.
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: Common complications including stridor, laryngospasm, and bronchospasm are important in patients undergoing general anesthesia. Dexamethasone, lidocaine, and ketamine could have significant roles in reducing these complications. Here we aimed to compare the use of these drugs during tonsillectomy. Materials and Methods: This study was performed on 100 children that were candidates of tonsillectomy. Patients were divided into 4 groups receiving dexamethasone 0.1 mg/kg and lidocaine 1 mg/kg, ketamine 0.5 mg/kg and dexamethasone 0.1 mg/kg, dexamethasone 0.1 mg/kg, and normal saline after surgical procedures. We evaluated and compared data regarding the duration of anesthesia, oxygenation saturation, blood pressure (systolic and diastolic (SBP and DBP)), re-intubation, laryngospasm, bronchospasm, requiring analgesics after surgeries, recovery stay duration, and nausea and vomiting. Results: Administration of ketamine and dexamethasone was associated with the lowest pain and lowest need for postoperative analgesic administrations in patients ( Conclusion: Usage of ketamine and dexamethasone was associated with the lowest pain severities and lowest complications. On the other hand, patients that received lidocaine and dexamethasone had the least airway stimulations.
