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

We present the case of a 78-year-old man (ASA III), with chronic ischemic heart disease, moderate aortic stenosis, hypertension, diabetes, and renal failure undergoing a second revision hip arthroplasty. Continuous spinal anesthesia (CSA) was performed using an ultra-low dose of 6.25 mg 0.25% isobaric levobupivacaine (3.75 mg + 2.5 mg) without adjuvants, preserving the possibility of incremental dosing if necessary. Intraoperative monitoring documented exceptional hemodynamic stability throughout the entire procedure (180 min), with mean arterial pressure maintained between 75 and 84 mmHg and heart rate between 63 and 70 bpm, without requiring vasopressors. The sensory block (T10) and motor block (Bromage 3) were adequate and regressed to Bromage 0 by the end of the procedure. The patient remained spontaneously breathing room air with an SpO
