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

A scoping review (ScR) is a widely used method of evidence synthesis for identifying and mapping the available evidence on a specific topic, field, concept, or issue. This article presents the guidelines for conducting a ScR using a systematic and rigorous methodology. The steps for conducting a ScR, illustrated with examples from anesthesia and pain medicine research, are as follows: (1) building a review team, (2) formulating broad research questions, (3) developing and registering a ScR protocol, (4) identifying relevant studies through a systematic search, (5) extracting data using predefined templates, (6) analyzing and presenting the evidence, (7) consulting with stakeholders and/or experts, and (8) reporting the results transparently. ScRs are valuable methods of evidence synthesis, enabling researchers in anesthesia and pain medicine to map and explore the breadth of existing evidence.
