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.

Abstract

backgroundSuccinylcholine is favored for its rapid onset and offset, but its use is limited by adverse effects. Mivacurium chloride, a non-depolarizing relaxant, offers a similar shorter duration and fewer cardiovascular effects, especially without worrying about muscle pain and hyperkalemia, making it a potential alternative in some short-time operations. This study aims to assess the non-inferiority of mivacurium chloride compared to succinylcholine in terms of muscle relaxation effect and safety during flexible bronchoscopy.

methodsThis is a prospective, single-center, randomized, assessor-blinded, positive-controlled trial. Participants scheduled for flexible bronchoscopy requiring muscle relaxation were randomly assigned to receive either mivacurium chloride or succinylcholine. The primary endpoint is the recovery rate of spontaneous breathing within 15 min after discontinuation of muscle relaxants. Other outcomes, including recovery time at different levels, hemodynamic changes, adverse events, and satisfaction from physicians and patients, are also collected. DISCUSSION: This study aims to compare the recovery effect of mivacurium chloride for muscle relaxation during bronchoscopy with succinylcholine, hypothesizing that mivacurium chloride is non-inferior in recovery time and superior in safety and comfort.
