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

introductionCesarean section is one of the most common obstetric procedures performed worldwide under spinal anesthesia which is a commonly practiced rapid, simple, and safe method. Vomiting and nausea are frequent side effects of many surgical procedures. However, with cesarean sections performed under regional anesthesia, this issue occurs even more frequently. The existing evidence regarding the prevalence and associated factors of intraoperative nausea and vomiting is inconsistent. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the pooled prevalence and associated factors of intraoperative nausea and vomiting.

methodsThis is a systematic review and meta-analysis study that was done based on studies published within the last 10 years on the prevalence and associated factors of intraoperative nausea and vomiting during cesarean section under regional anesthesia. After PubMed, Google Scholar, HINAR, Scopus, Science Direct, and grey literature extensive search for primary studies, their quality was assessed with JBI and modified Newcastle Ottawa appraisal assessment tool and data was extracted. STATA

resultsTwenty-nine studies were met the inclusion criteria of this systematic review and meta-analysis. However, only 21 studies were included by excluding eight studies due to inappropriate method & outcomes and language other than English. The pooled prevalence of intraoperative nausea and vomiting was 36% (95% CI- 31%, 41%) with heterogeneity (I

conclusionThe pooled prevalence of intraoperative nausea and vomiting during cesarean section under regional anesthesia was high (36%) which needs more strategies for prevention.
