Effects of sevoflurane and propofol on pulmonary inflammatory responses during lung resection.
Trial report in Journal of anesthesia, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposePulmonary inflammatory reactions are affected by one-lung ventilation (OLV) and anesthetic agents. However, the effects of anesthetic agents on pulmonary inflammatory reactions may vary. Our previous investigations suggested that inflammatory reactions were more pronounced in the dependent lung during lung resection under general anesthesia with propofol and remifentanil. Therefore, in the present study we attempted to determine the difference in pulmonary inflammatory reaction using either sevoflurane or propofol in both dependent and nondependent lungs during OLV.
methodsForty adult patients undergoing elective lung resection were randomized to receive either propofol (n = 20) or sevoflurane (n = 20) as the main anesthetic agent. Intraoperative analgesia was provided by remifentanil in both groups. Epithelial lining fluid (ELF) was obtained from each lung using a bronchoscopic microsampling method. ELF and plasma levels of inflammatory cytokines were measured using multiplexed bead-based immunoassays before and after OLV.
resultsEpithelial lining fluid levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 were significantly increased in the dependent lung and the nondependent lung after OLV compared with baseline levels (P < 0.05). Moreover, IL-6 ELF level in the dependent lung was significantly higher in the propofol group than in the sevoflurane group after OLV (P < 0.001).
conclusionOne-lung ventilation induced inflammatory responses of the bronchial epithelia in the dependent lung and the nondependent lung during lung resection. Moreover, this inflammatory response was significantly suppressed by sevoflurane compared with propofol. Furthermore, the antiinflammatory effect of sevoflurane was more pronounced in the dependent lung than in the nondependent lung during OLV.
