Association of obesity with ropivacaine and sufentanil EC50 in labor analgesia: a single-center prospective study.
Article in European journal of clinical pharmacology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveIn part I, measure the EC50 of sufentanil in obese and non-obese parturients combined with 0.1% ropivacaine and compare the differences. Similarly, in part II, measure the EC50 of ropivacaine in obese and non-obese parturients combined with 0.5 µg/ml sufentanil and compare the differences.
methodsThis study comprises two parts, with an initial intention to enroll 120 full-term primiparous women who underwent vaginal delivery and sought epidural analgesia. Each part includes an obese group (OA group, Obese Adults, defined as prepartum BMI≥29 kg/m
resultsIn part I, the EC50 of epidural sufentanil in the OA group was 0.090 µg/ml (95% CI, 0.061~0.115µg/ml), and in the CON group, it was 0.170µg/ml (95% CI, 0.117~0.219µg/ml). In part II, the EC50 of epidural ropivacaine in the OA group was 0.048% (95% CI, 0.041~0.053%), and in the CON group, it was 0.070% (95% CI, 0.064~0.075%). The secondary outcomes in both parts of the study showed no statistically significant differences.
conclusionObese parturients exhibited significantly lower EC50 values for ropivacaine and sufentanil compared to non-obese parturients. Lower concentrations of both agents can be considered for labor analgesia in obese parturients.
