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

backgroundAdministration of N-butylscopolammonium bromide (NBB) with metamizol sodium (NBBM) causes tachycardia and hypertension, and has been associated with accentuated cardiac murmurs.

objectivesTo evaluate the effect of a pharmacological challenge using NBBM on valvular regurgitation and cardiac murmurs in horses with aortic (AR) and mitral valve regurgitation (MR). ANIMALS: Twenty Warmblood horses with AR and 20 with MR.

methodsCardiac auscultation and two-dimensional (2D), M-mode, color flow, pulsed wave Doppler flow, and tissue Doppler echocardiography were performed with simultaneous ECG recording and non-invasive blood pressure measurements during rest and pharmacological challenge using 0.2 mg/kg NBB and 25 mg/kg metamizol sodium. Cardiac dimensions and functional parameters were assessed. Regurgitant jet size was subjectively evaluated, and jet area was measured. Data at rest and during pharmacological challenge were compared using repeated measures analysis or related samples Wilcoxon signed rank test. p-values were adjusted using the Benjamini-Hochberg method.

resultsCompared with rest, pharmacological challenge resulted in decreased atrial and ventricular dimensions and increased aortic and pulmonary dimensions (P CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Pharmacological challenge with NBBM affects cardiac chamber sizes, regurgitant jet, and cardiac murmur intensity in horses with AR and MR. Influences on heart rate and blood pressure should be considered during longitudinal follow-up examinations.
