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

While remifentanil, etomidate, and rocuronium are increasingly used for cesarean section due to their favorable hemodynamic stability and fetal safety profile, their pharmacokinetics and potential effects on neonates remain poorly understood. This study developed and validated a rapid, sensitive LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous quantification of the three anesthetics in microsamples of 10 μl serum, followed by a paired maternal and umbilical cord serum investigation. After protein precipitation with acetonitrile, analytes were separated within 4 min using positive electrospray ionization in MRM mode. Method validation demonstrated excellent linearity (R
