Remimazolam: a randomized controlled study of its suitability for insertion of a supraglottic airway.

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
purposeLoss of motor response to thrusting the jaw forward is a useful indicator for uncomplicated insertion of a supraglottic airway. The aim of this study was to assess the suitability of remimazolam for insertion of a supraglottic airway assessed by loss of response to jaw thrusting.
methodsSeventy patients, who were scheduled for elective surgeries under general anesthesia, were allocated randomly to one of two groups. In one group (remimazolam group), remimazolam was infused 12 mg kg
resultsFrom the interim analysis results, the study was stopped after recruitment of 40 patients. Loss of response to jaw thrusting was observed in all of 21 patients (100%) in the propofol group, and in 9 of 19 patients (47%) in the remimazolam group. There was a significant difference in the proportion between the groups (P = 0.0001, 95% CI for difference 30-75%).
conclusionRemimazolam frequently does not inhibit response to jaw thrusting, and thus remimazolam is not a suitable induction agent for uncomplicated insertion of a supraglottic airway unless either a neuromuscular blocking agent or an opioid is co-administered.
