Use of Dexmedetomidine as an Adjuvant in Spinal Anesthesia in Patients With Femoral Fracture Affected by Moderate Aortic Stenosis: A Case Series.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The anaesthesiological management of femoral fracture in the frail patient still represents a challenge for the anaesthetist and his team. For decades, the most frequently used anaesthesiological approach in these cases has been spinal anaesthesia. In recent years, the progression of pharmacology and anaesthesiological techniques has meant that this technique can be adopted in situations where general anaesthesia was previously preferred, particularly in clinical scenarios requiring less haemodynamic impact, such as in patients with aortic valve stenosis. In this case series, we consider how adjuvant spinal anaesthesia with dexmedetomidine ensures adequate intra- and post-operative analgesia and haemodynamic stability in patients with moderate aortic valvular stenosis. Specifically, we used the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score to evaluate pain, both intraoperatively and postoperatively at 6, 12, and 24 hours.
