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 explore the preventive effect of thumbtack needle Neiguan acupoint stimulation combined with Zusanli acupoint stimulation on postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing hysteroscopic surgery. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE: Using convenient sampling, 90 patients scheduled for hysteroscopic surgery were enrolled and randomly assigned to group A (Neiguan acupoint stimulation combined with Zusanli acupoint stimulation group), group B (Neiguan acupoint stimulation group), and group C (Streitberger sham acupuncture group). Postoperative nausea, vomiting and pain indicators were collected for comparison.

resultsThe incidence of postoperative nausea in group A and group B was lower than that in group C at 0 ~ 6 h, and the incidence of postoperative vomiting in group A and group B was lower than that in group C at 0 ~ 6 h and 6 ~ 12 h. There were significant differences in VAS scores and postoperative exhaust time between the three groups at 6,12 and 24 h after operation. Further pairwise comparison showed that the VAS scores and postoperative exhaust time of group A at 6,12 and 24 h after operation were the smallest (P < 0.05).

conclusionCombined acupoint stimulation at Zusanli and Neiguan was more effective in reducing the severity of nausea and vomiting and accelerating postoperative recovery than stimulation of Neiguan alone or sham control.
