Comparative study of recovery of airway reflexes and cognitive function following sevoflurane versus desflurane anaesthesia.
Article in Indian journal of anaesthesia, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07289945 (A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF DESFLURANE VERSUS SEVOFLURANE IN ELDERLY PATIENTS), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
aimsSevoflurane and desflurane have almost similar blood-gas solubility but recent studies suggest that desflurane compared to sevoflurane leads to faster recovery of airway reflexes, but the recovery of cognitive function varies significantly. We conducted this study to compare the times of recovery from anaesthesia following desflurane versus sevoflurane anaesthesia.
methodsThis randomised double-blinded study was conducted on 60 patients of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification I-II, age between 18 and 60 years with body mass index (BMI) ≤30 kg/m
resultsThe mean time from first verbal response to first passing the swallowing test was comparable in both the groups (5.50 ± 3.45 vs. 4.10 ± 3.42 min,
conclusionIn patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under controlled conditions, earlier recovery is seen with desflurane compared to sevoflurane.
