Anesthetic Stability of Propofol, Dexmedetomidine, and Isoflurane by Measuring Bispectral Index (BIS) and Hemodynamic Indices: A Comparative Study.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background Hemodynamic changes and anesthetic awareness occurring during surgery under general anesthesia is a great concern for both surgeon and anesthesiologist. Maintenance of the adequate depth of anesthesia throughout the intraoperative period is important in maintaining hemodynamic stability, preventing intraoperative awareness, and avoiding postoperative recall. Aim This study aims to predict the anesthetic stability of propofol, dexmedetomidine, and isoflurane by measuring bispectral index (BIS) and hemodynamic indices. Materials and methods This is a prospective comparative study. Sixty patients of either sex, aged 18-60 years, with American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) physical status classification I and II, undergoing elective surgical procedures requiring general anesthesia were allocated into three groups of 20 each. Patients in each group were administered standard general anesthesia with routine hemodynamic monitoring along with BIS, and values were recorded at baseline and thereafter at every five-minute interval for the duration of surgery. Anesthesia was maintained in Group P using a bolus dose of propofol 1 milligram.kg
