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

Purpose: Low density of electroencephalogram alpha band power was reported to be associated with perioperative cognitive dysfunction. Few studies have conducted to explore the effects of remimazolam on intraoperative frontal alpha band power spectrum density in older adults. Here, we aimed to explore the impact of remimazolam on intraoperative frontal brain wave alpha band activity and postoperative cognitive function in older adults undergoing lower extremity fractures surgeries. Methods: Patients undergoing elective general anesthesia for lower extremity fracture surgery were randomly allocated to remimazolam group (Group R) and midazolam group (Group M). Group R was induced with remimazolam bolus 0.1 mg/kg followed by a maintenance dose of 0.1 mg·kg Results: Compared with Group M, Group R had significantly higher intraoperative power spectral density of the frontal alpha band ( Conclusion: Remimazolam can increase frontal brain wave alpha band power spectrum density and improve postoperative cognitive function in older adults undergoing lower extremity fractures surgeries.
