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
purposeThe study aims to examine the effect on intracranial pressure by calculating the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) using ultrasound in patients who underwent suspension direct laryngoscopy.
methodsThirty-three patients who underwent suspension direct laryngoscopy were included in this prospective observational study. ONSD measurement was performed using a high-frequency linear probe. The ONSD basal (T0) value was determined using ultrasound in the supine position before the induction. Ultrasonography was used to record ONSD in the Boyce Jackson position (T1) just before inserting the laryngeal blade, in the Boyce Jackson position just before removing the laryngeal blade (T2), and in the supine position (T3) just before extubation.
resultsA statistically significant rise (p < 0.001) was seen between the patients' baseline ONSD values and the values at T1, T2, and T3. The optic nerve sheat diameter level recorded prior to withdrawing the laryngeal blade (T2) was considerably greater than the ONSD level calculated instantly before insertion of the laryngeal blade (T1) (p < 0.001). The ONSD value prior to extubation (T3) following the removal of the laryngeal blade was considerably smaller than the ONSD value prior removing the laryngeal blade (T2) (p < 0.001).
conclusionsThis study found that when the laryngeal blade is mounted during the suspension direct laryngoscopy surgery, there is a significant increase in ultrasonographically measured ONSD and increased the ONSD even further during the time the mouth gag was remained in situ. This is the first research to indicate that measuring ONSD with ultrasonography during suspension direct laryngoscopy raises intracranial pressure.
