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

Background: Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy is being increasingly carried out under general anesthesia in pediatric patients. However, the optimal anesthetic protocol still remains unclear. This study aims to test the hypothesis that the addition of low-dose rocuronium during laryngeal mask airway-assisted flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy in children can enhance procedural outcomes and improve overall management. Methods: In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 140 children aged 1-6 years scheduled for flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy under general anesthesia will be randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to either the rocuronium group or the normal saline group ( Discussion: We hypothesize that the addition of low-dose rocuronium during laryngeal mask airway-assisted flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy under general anesthesia may optimize operation conditions, reduce coughing frequency, lower remifentanil dosage and the failure rate, stabilize hemodynamic fluctuations, minimize adverse events and enhance satisfaction, thereby providing valuable reference for clinical anesthesia practice in these procedures.
