Does Baska mask deserve its own niche among extraglottic airway devices? A prospective, single-arm study.
Article in Indian journal of anaesthesia, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 and Aims: A variety of extraglottic airway devices (EADs) are available. Main concerns with EADs are protection against aspiration and ability to ventilate patients with high airway pressures. Baska mask meets these criteria and is the only third-generation device available for clinical use. Methods: After institutional ethics committee approval and informed consent were obtained, this prospective study was performed in 100 adult patients undergoing surface surgeries at a tertiary referral centre. The primary outcome was the success rate of insertion, while the secondary outcomes were the sealing pressure, stability of the device and the perioperative complications of Baska mask. We then compared it with other currently used EADs. Results: The first attempt at insertion and overall success rates, showed values of 81% and 98%, respectively. Insertion was quick (median 12; interquartile range [IQR] 9-15 s). The mask sealing pressure, was 35 cmH Conclusion: We found that the Baska mask performs well with excellent first attempt at insertion and overall success rates, higher sealing pressures and minimal complications compared to currently used EADs in clinical anaesthesia.
