Dexmedetomidine to Treat Hiccups During Anesthetic Care in an Adolescent Female.
Article in Journal of medical cases, 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 clinical applications of dexmedetomidine in infants and children have included sedation during mechanical ventilation, prevention of post-anesthesia delirium, control of procedure-related pain and anxiety, and treatment of shivering. We present anecdotal experience with the use of dexmedetomidine to treat hiccups that developed intraoperatively in an adolescent following the induction of anesthesia and placement of a laryngeal mask airway. The neural pathways and neurotransmitters involved with hiccups are reviewed, options for intraoperative treatment presented, and previous reports of the use of dexmedetomidine in this clinical scenario discussed.
