Comparative efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine and midazolam for conscious sedation in blind nasotracheal intubation: a randomized controlled trial.

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
Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of dexmedetomidine amnestic analgesia slow induction for blind nasotracheal intubation (BNTI) in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Methods: Sixty patients undergoing oral and maxillofacial surgery were randomly divided into the dexmedetomidine (DEX) group (1.0 μg/kg, 15 min of infusion + pethidine 1.0 mg/kg) and the midazolam (MID) group (0.02 mg/kg + pethidine 1.0 mg/kg). The intubation time was recorded, and heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), bispectral index (BIS) and pulse oximeter oxygen saturation (SpO Results: Compared with the MID group, the intubation time in the DEX group was shorter and the P Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine used for blind nasotracheal intubation for oral and maxillofacial surgery can provide comprehensive anesthesia effects, significantly reduce the stress response of tracheal intubation and the dosage of intraoperative opioids, while maintaining good hemodynamic stability.
