The Impact of Sevoflurane and Propofol Anesthetic Induction on Bag Mask Ventilation in Surgical Patients with High Body Mass Index.
Article in Anesthesia, essays and researches. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsObesity is associated with restrictive ventilatory pattern which causes rapid oxygen desaturation. Although obesity is considered as a risk factor for difficult airway management, failure to achieve effective bag mask ventilation (BMV) can be catastrophic. This study tried to assess the effect of both propofol and sevoflurane on the efficacy of BMV during anesthetic induction in obese patients. PATIENTS AND
methodsA total of 200 cases were included, and they were randomly divided into two equal groups; Group S which included 100 cases who underwent sevoflurane induction, and Group
resultsNo statistically significant difference was detected between the two groups regarding patient and air way characteristics (
conclusionSevoflurane can facilitate BMV and provide better intubation conditions in comparison to propofol during anesthetic induction in morbidly obese patients. Moreover, decreased thyromental distance, presence of macroglossia and beard, lack of teeth, and history of snoring are considered preoperative indicators of DBMV.
