Effect of Preoperative 2-Hour Carbohydrate Load on Pediatric Patients Undergoing Elective Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Study.
Article in Anesthesiology research and practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06833671 (Effect of Preoperative Two Hours Carbohydrate Load On Pediatric Patient Undergoing Elective Surgery), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
Background: Preoperative prolonged fasting can lead to metabolic disturbances and discomfort in pediatrics. This work aimed to assess the systemic effect of different preoperative carbohydrate (CHO) loads in pediatrics undergoing elective surgery. Methods: This randomized single-blinded controlled trial was performed on 90 children, aged 5-10 years old, who were scheduled for elective surgery. Three equal groups were randomly assigned to patients. 2 h before surgery, patients received 10 mL/kg apple juice in Group 1, 1.75 mg/kg anhydrous glucose in Group 2, or water in Group 3. All patients followed standard fasting guidelines. Results: Inflammatory markers were notably elevated in Group 3 than in Groups 1 and 2 at the induction of anesthesia and 4 h after operation ( Conclusions: In pediatrics undergoing elective surgeries, preoperative CHO loading is a safe alternative to standard fasting as it results in better preservation of IR markers, inflammatory response, and parents' satisfaction levels. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT06833671.
