Transient Hypoglossal and Lingual Nerve Injury Following the Use of I-gel Supraglottic Airway: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Injury to the hypoglossal and/or lingual nerve is a rare occurrence with the use of a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) or supraglottic airway (SGA) device. There has been one prior report of a lingual and hypoglossal nerve injury with the i-gel™ SGA. We are describing the second reported hypoglossal and lingual transient nerve injury in a male patient while using an i-gel™ SGA. Although excessive cuff pressure has been cited as a possible cause, the i-gel™ does not have a cuff. This report highlights that hypoglossal nerve injury can still occur, even with the use of a cuffless LMA such as the i-gel™ SGA.
