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

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the sedative interaction between the new benzodiazepine derivative remimazolam and etomidate during general anesthesia induction and determine the appropriate dose ratio for their combined use. Patients and Methods: Patients scheduled for general anesthesia, aged 18 to 60 years with a BMI of 18 to 28 kg/m Results: The ED Conclusion: During general anesthesia induction, when the dose ratios of remimazolam to etomidate are approximately 1:1.29 and 1:0.39, the two drugs exert a synergistic sedative effect, with the strongest synergism observed at the dose ratio of 1:1.29.
