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
introductionProseal Laryngeal Mask Airway (PLMA) is a newer supraglottic airway device that requires adequate depth of anaesthesia and suppression of upper airway reflexes thereby providing optimal insertion conditions.
aimTo compare dexmedetomidine and fentanyl for co-induction with propofol with respect to PLMA insertion conditions, haemodynamic variation and the total dose requirement of propofol. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis was a prospective randomized double-blinded study conducted in 60 cases of American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) class I/II undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia. They were randomly divided into two equal groups, D and F, each receiving 1μg/kg of dexmedetomidine and fentanyl respectively followed by Propofol 2.5mg/kg as per protocol. The ease of PLMA insertion was Young's Criteria and Modified scheme of Lund and Stovener. The haemodynamic parameters (mean heart rate, mean arterial pressure, Respiratory rate, SPO
resultsPLMA insertion conditions and haemodynamics were comparable between the dexmedetomidine-propofol and fentanyl-propofol groups according to the Young's criteria and Modified scheme of Lund and Stovener. Total induction dose of propofol and its increments were significantly reduced in the dexmedetomidine group.
conclusionDexmedetomidine and fentanyl when both used individually for co-induction with propofol for PLMA insertion give excellent overall insertion conditions with haemodynamic stability. Dexmedetomidine also significantly reduces the requirements of induction dose propofol for PLMA insertion.
