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: This study was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of pre-emptive dose of dexamethasone on pain, nausea, frequency of vomiting, and restlessness after septorhinoplasty. Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial study, 70 patients' candidates for septorhinoplasty were divided into two groups of 35 and before induction of anesthesia, 0.1 mg/kg of dexamethasone was injected intravenously in the first group and the same volume of normal saline in the second group. Postoperative nausea severity and frequency of vomiting, pain intensity, patient restlessness, painkiller, and antinausea medication usage up to 24 hours after surgery were evaluated and compared in two groups. Results: There was a significant difference between the two groups in the mean of pain intensity at the time of recovery (0.031). Also, 6 hours ( Conclusion: Intravenous dexamethasone 0.1 mg/kg before induction of anesthesia reduced the intensity of pain, nausea, restlessness, and the need for painkillers and antinausea drugs, without causing serious hemodynamic disorders. It seems that the use of this drug with the mentioned dose in septorinoplasty patients is associated with a reduction in postoperative complications.
