Efficacy of 6% Hydroxyethyl Starch and 2% Lidocaine in Reducing the Pain of Propofol Injection: A randomised, placebo-controlled trial.
Trial report in Sultan Qaboos University medical journal, 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
Objectives: Propofol administration is associated with pain, mediated by the activation of vascular endothelium. Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) inhibits endothelial membrane activation by various nociceptive substances. Thus, this study hypothesised that pre-administration of HES can reduce pain on propofol administration. This study aimed to compare the proportion of patients with no pain on propofol administration and to compare the severity of pain and any change in pre- and post-induction haemodynamic variables. Methods: This prospective, randomised, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted at Chirayu Medical College & Hospital, Bhopal, India, between August 2023 and December 2023 and included patients undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia. Patients were randomly assigned to 3 groups to receive either 100 mL of 6% HES followed by propofol (Group HES), 100 mL normal saline (NS) followed by propofol premixed with 2% lidocaine (Group L) or 100 mL NS followed by propofol induction (Group P). Results: A total of 339 patients were included. The proportion of patients with no pain on propofol injection was significantly higher in the HES group (n = 75) than in the lignocaine (n = 33) and placebo (n = 13) groups ( Conclusion: The proportion of patients experiencing pain on propofol injection was found to be significantly less with the pre-administration of 100 mL 6% HES compared to the pre-administration of lidocaine.
