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

backgroundCurrently, very few studies have examined the analgesic effectiveness and safety of dexmedetomidine-assisted intravenous-inhalation combined general anesthesia in laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery for inguinal hernia.

aimTo investigate the analgesic effect and safety of dexmedetomidine-assisted intravenous-inhalation combined general anesthesia in laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery for inguinal hernia.

methodsIn this retrospective study, 94 patients scheduled for laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery for inguinal hernia, admitted to Yiwu Central Hospital between May 2022 and May 2023, were divided into a control group (inhalation combined general anesthesia) and a treatment group (dexmedetomidine-assisted intravenous-inhalation combined general anesthesia). Perioperative indicators, analgesic effect, preoperative and postoperative 24-hours blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR), stress indicators, immune function levels, and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.

resultsBaseline data, including age, hernia location, place of residence, weight, monthly income, education level, and underlying diseases, were not significantly different between the two groups, indicating comparability (

conclusionDexmedetomidine-assisted intravenous-inhalation combined general anesthesia can promote early recovery of patients undergoing laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery for inguinal hernia. It ensures stable blood flow, improves postoperative analgesic effects, reduces postoperative pain intensity, alleviates stress response, improves immune function, facilitates anesthesia recovery, and enhances safety.
