Evaluation of the time to desensitization of the larynx of cats following topical lidocaine application.

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
objectivesThe objective of this study was to evaluate the time to decreased reactivity of the arytenoid cartilages in cats after application of topical lidocaine.
methodsOne hundred and ten mixed-breed cats were randomly assigned to one of five groups based on the time between application of lidocaine and stimulation of the larynx: 5 (T5), 15 (T15), 30 (T30), 45 (T45) or 60 (T60) s. Cats were premedicated with dexmedetomidine, ketamine and buprenorphine. Anesthesia was induced with propofol to effect. Lidocaine 2% (2 mg/kg) was applied topically to the vocal cords using a catheter attached to a syringe under direct laryngoscopy. After lidocaine application, the designated time elapsed and the vocal cords were stimulated with the patient end of an endotracheal tube. Severity of reaction was reported as none, mild, moderate or severe. All cats were intubated after the reactivity score was recorded. Anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane and 100% oxygen while cats were spayed or castrated. Cats were monitored in recovery for signs of respiratory complications and pain.
resultsThere was a significant difference in overall reactivity score between T5 and T45 ( CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: As the lowest overall reactivity score occurred at T45, it is recommended to wait at least 45 s after application of topical lidocaine before attempting tracheal intubation.
