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
Background: Drugs administered intravenously during the postoperative period can mix before entering the bloodstream. This study assessed the stability of mixtures of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ketorolac and diclofenac) and antiemetics (ondansetron and ramosetron) to determine their suitability for concurrent administration. Methods: Ketorolac or diclofenac was combined with ondansetron or ramosetron at a 1:1 volume ratio. Each mixture was stored in a propylene syringe at 24°C for 2 hours. The mixtures were assessed visually, and the pH was measured. Additionally, the drug concentrations were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results: Mixtures of ketorolac or diclofenac and ramosetron showed no crystal formation or pH changes, and HPLC analysis confirmed that the drug concentrations remained stable. In contrast, mixtures of ketorolac or diclofenac and ondansetron exhibited the visible formation of 10-50 μm crystals under a microscope. However, there were no changes in the pH levels, and HPLC analysis indicated that the drug concentrations remained stable for both the mixtures. Conclusions: Mixtures of ketorolac or diclofenac and ramosetron demonstrated physical and chemical stability for up to 2 hours, indicating that their concurrent use is feasible. Conversely, mixtures of ketorolac or diclofenac and ondansetron should be avoided due to the formation of crystals, even though the concentration of each drug remained stable.
