Target controlled remifentanil infusion for smooth laryngeal mask airway removal during emergence from desflurane-remifentanil anesthesia.
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 3 papers.
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
purposeAdministration of remifentanil can be a reliable method for preventing airway reflex responses during emergence. We therefore investigated the effect of maintaining target controlled infusion (TCI) of remifentanil for smooth cLMA removal during emergence from desflurane-remifentanil anaesthesia.
methodsForty-one patients undergoing uretero-renoscopy under general anesthesia with desflurane and at 1-4 ng/ml TCI remifentanil infusion were randomly assigned to a control group (n = 20) or a remifentanil group (n = 21). At the end of the surgery, desflurane and remifentanil infusion were stopped in group C and remifentanil was maintained at the effect-site concentration of 1.5 ng/ml TCI in group R. When LMA removal was accomplished without coughing, teeth clenching, gross purposeful movements, breath holding, laryngospasm, and desaturation to SpO(2) less than 90%, removal was regarded as smooth (successful). The emergence and recovery profiles were also evaluated.
resultsThe incidence and number of complications (coughing, teeth clenching, gross purposeful movements, breath holding, laryngospasm, desaturation to SpO(2) <90%) were significantly higher in the control group than in the remifentanil group (p = 0.002).
conclusionMaintaining effect-site TCI of remifentanil at 1.5 ng/ml during emergence from anaesthesia enabled smooth removal of cLMA without any delay in recovery time.
