Comparison of I-gel for general anesthesia in obese and nonobese patients.
Article in Saudi journal of anaesthesia. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
contextI-gel is a second-generation supraglottic airway device. Despite several studies on i-gel, there are very few studies on the use of i-gel in obese patients.
aimsThe aim of the study was to compare the clinical performance of i-gel between obese and nonobese patients. SETTINGS AND
designProspective, controlled, nonrandomized, hospital-based study. SUBJECTS AND
methodsAfter obtaining informed consent, patients were divided into two groups of 16 patients each: group O consisted of patients with body mass index (BMI) >30 kg/m STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: Data were analyzed using SPSS 20. Continuous, ordinal, and categorical variables were analyzed using students
resultsOLP was slightly higher in Group O (25.38 ± 4.79 cm H
conclusionsWe concluded that i-gel is as effective in obese patients as in nonobese patients when used for securing the airway for surgical procedures.
