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

Perioperative hyperhidrosis (POH) can present as excessive sweating within hours after anesthetic induction and may persist up to 24 hours postoperatively following general anesthesia. While commonly a benign finding, excessive or persistent POH can be disconcerting for the patient and can occasionally signify an underlying infection, electrolyte disturbances, or autonomic dysregulation. A systematic approach to managing POH has not been published. We report the cases of two patients with excessive sweating under general anesthesia, highlighting their clinical presentation and management. We also propose a clinical algorithm to standardize the management of POH.
