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

backgroundThe stability of blood glucose levels in diabetic patients is more susceptible to fluctuations than in nondiabetic individuals. The effect of dexmedetomidine on glucose fluctuations in diabetic patients remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of intraoperative dexmedetomidine on glucose homeostasis in patients with type 2 diabetes undergoing laparoscopic colorectal cancer radical resection.

methods80 participants with T2DM preparing for laparoscopic colorectal cancer radical resection were randomly divided into four groups: control group (group C), dexmedetomidine 1 μg ⋅ kg

resultsCompared with the baseline levels, the levels of blood glucose from T2 to T5 in group C increased gradually but were not significantly different at each time point (p > 0.05), and there was a statistically significant rise in blood glucose in group D1 at T3, T4, and T5 and in groups D2 and D3 at T2, T3, and T4 (p < 0.05). Compared with group C, blood glucose in groups D2 and D3 was significantly higher at T3, andT4 (p < 0.05). Compared with group C, the rangeability from T1 to T3 and T1 to T4 was significantly higher in groups D2 and D3 (p < 0.05).

conclusionDexmedetomidine loading dose 1 μg/kg and a Maintenance dose 0.25 μg/kg/h can be used in type 2 diabetic patients for better glucose regulation without increasing the incidence of perioperative hyperglycemia, adverse effects, and extending extubation time.
