Comparison of End-Tidal Anesthetic Gas Concentration versus Bispectral Index-Guided Protocol as Directing Tool on Time to Tracheal Extubation for Sevoflurane-Based General Anesthesia.
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 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundModalities for titrating anesthetic drug-like bispectral index (BIS) and end-tidal anesthetic gas (ETAG) concentration in predicting early extubation had been studied with old anesthetic agents such as isoflurane.
aimThe aim of this study is to compare the effect of ETAG concentration versus BIS-guided protocol as directing tool on time to tracheal extubation for sevoflurane-based general anesthesia. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis prospective, randomized, double-blind trial studied sixty patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classes I and II who received sevoflurane-based general anesthesia and were allocated to either BIS-guided anesthesia group (
resultsMean time to tracheal extubation was significantly shorter in BIS group (308.77 ± 20.48 s) as compared to ETAG group (377.90 ± 25.06 s) (
conclusionPrediction of extubation was significantly early with BIS monitoring as compared to ETAG monitoring in sevoflurane-based general anesthesia.
