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: Spinal anesthesia is the most preferred method for cesarean section (C-section). This meta-analysis was performed to determine the effect of low and high intrathecal doses of pethidine on the maternal outcomes after C-section. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar was performed. Random-effects meta-analysis was performed to derive odds ratios (ORs) from dichotomous data. Results: Seventeen randomized controlled trials with 1304 C-section patients were included. Patients who had received intrathecal pethidine experienced decreased shivering and intensity of shivering (OR 0.13; Conclusions: Intrathecal pethidine can effectively decrease shivering, although it increases the risk of vomiting and pruritus. No significant difference was found both in the maternal hypotension and nausea.
