A randomized controlled clinical trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine in treating postoperative acute pain.

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 aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine in treating postoperative acute pain through a clinical randomized controlled trial. Methods: This study selected 165 patients who underwent general anesthesia surgeries at our hospital from October 2022 to May 2023 as research subjects. They were enrolled and randomly allocated to a control group ( Results: The results showed that compared to the control group, the experimental group had lower VAS score, Ramsay score, mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ( Conclusions: Dexmedetomidine could effectively manage the vital signs of patients with postoperative acute pain, improve treatment outcomes, alleviate pain, enhance sedation, ensure safety, and enhance comprehensive satisfaction.
