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

objectiveTo assess patient and clinician experience with methoxyflurane in the Emergency Department (ED).

methodsPatients receiving methoxyflurane as part of their treatment, and respective clinicians, were prospectively enrolled. Outcomes included patient and clinician satisfaction. Satisfaction was assessed using a 5-point Likert scale and summarised using medians (interquartile range; IQR).

resultsOf patients prescribed and administered methoxyflurane, 30 patients and 21 clinicians were enrolled. Median patient satisfaction was 4 out of 5 (IQR 3-5). Median clinician satisfaction was 5 out of 5 (IQR 4-5).

conclusionsWith a specific focus on patient and clinician experience for acute, short-term pain, methoxyflurane is a well-received and effective option for analgesia in the ED.
