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.

Abstract

Neuromuscular block recovery was evaluated using high-frequency tetanic ulnar nerve simulations compared to normalized train-of-four (NTOF) in anesthetized patients. Under intravenous general anesthesia, we compared rocuronium-induced neuromuscular recovery using 5 s 100- and 200-Hz tetanic stimulations via isometric mechanomyography to acceleromyographic NTOF in 20 consenting patients. The primary outcome was the comparison by Student's t-tests of 100- and 200-Hz tetanic fade ratios (residual force at the end of the contraction / maximal force reached during the 5 s) before rocuronium administration and at different recovery levels. The secondary outcome was the quantification of any significant fade occurring with 100- and 200-Hz stimulations after reaching the acceleromyographic NTOF ratio of 0.9 during subsequent stages of spontaneous recovery until their fade ratios exceeded 0.9. During early (TOF count ≥ 1) and intermediate (NTOF ratio ≥ 0.5) stages of recovery, both 100- and 200-Hz tetanic fade ratios were similarly low. However, during late recovery when NTOF ratio ≥ 0.9, 200-Hz stimulation induced a significantly deeper muscular fade than 100-Hz (tetanic fade ratio 0.20 ± 0.23 vs. 0.64 ± 0.29, P < 0.001). The delays between the recovery of NTOF ratio 0.9 and 100- or 200-Hz tetanic fade ratio 0.9 were 7.7 ± 7.1 and 43.6 ± 14.6 min, respectively. In anesthetized humans, mechanomyographic 200-Hz tetanic stimulation detects lighter levels of residual paralysis than NTOF and 100-Hz tetanic stimulation during a valuable additional period. Registered in the ClinicalTrials.gov Registry NCT05474638 on July 15th 2022.
