Clinical Performance Comparison of LMA Protector™ Cuff Pilot™ and LMA Supreme™ When Used in Anesthetized, Non-paralyzed Patients.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Introduction The advancement of supraglottic airways (SGAs) has eased airway management, especially for anesthetists. There were functional improvements implemented to the newer SGA. We aim to assess the clinical performance of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) Protector™ Cuff Pilot™ (Teleflex Inc., Wayne, Pennsylvania, USA) against LMA Supreme™ (Teleflex Inc., Wayne, Pennsylvania, USA), in terms of oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP), successful insertion attempts, mean insertion time, ease of gastric tube insertion, laryngeal view, and incidence of sore throat among anesthetized, non-paralyzed patients undergoing general anesthesia. Methods In this prospective single-blinded study, 60 patients were randomized to use either LMA Protector™ Cuff Pilot™ or LMA Supreme™. Both groups received standard monitoring and induction regimes. Post-insertion, a bronchoscope was used to verify its position. A gastric tube was inserted and OLP was measured. Patients were assessed during the post-operative period for sore throats. Results LMA Protector™ Cuff Pilot™ was comparable to LMA Supreme™ in terms of mean OLP (30.72±8.60 vs 27.23±8.09 cmH
