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

Muscle relaxation is one of the most specific domains of anaesthesiology. Both the interaction between the physiology of the motor end plate and the pharmacology of the substances used as well as the impressive effects immediately following injection explain the fascination of this core competence of anaesthesiological work. A profound pharmacological understanding particularly of the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of the drugs used and the expertise with respect to the monitoring procedures employed are essential prerequisites for the safe use of muscle relaxants and their antagonists. The aim of this continuing education article is therefore to summarise the basic knowledge of muscle relaxation and neuromuscular monitoring from a clinical perspective. Based on research findings published in recent years and guideline recommendations from various professional associations, a possible approach to clinical practice is outlined.
