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: Preoperative anxiety is an urgent problem in pediatric patients. This trial evaluated intravenous remimazolam for preoperative sedation in pediatric patients, assessing efficacy, safety, and age-dependent dose effects. Patients and Methods: In this two-part study, Aged 1~6 years old, 293 ASA I-II children [Parental Separation Anxiety Score (PSAS) ≥3 after nonpharmacological interventions] were enrolled. Part I: children were divided into 5 groups according to their age, and the trial was conducted by the Dixon-Massey sequential method. The first child in each group received a dose of 0.3 mg/kg of remimazolam, with a drug dose gradient of 0.05 mg/kg. Part II: 150 children were randomly selected and assigned to receive remimazolam 0.2-0.3 mg/kg. The main observations of this study were sedation effect and safety. Results: The ED Conclusion: Remimazolam can be effectively used for preoperative sedation in children aged 1-6 years with low circulatory and respiratory effects, and there was no difference in the effective dose of the drug by age.
