The efficacy and safety of ciprofol versus propofol in patients undergoing painless hysteroscopy: a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC anesthesiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06413862 (Efficacy and Safety of Ciprofol Versus Propofol in Patients Undergoing Painless Hysteroscopy), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 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.

Abstract
backgroundStudies have reported that ciprofol has the advantage of reducing injection pain compared to propofol during gastroscopy, colonoscopy, and fiberoptic bronchoscopy. The effect of ciprofol on the injection pain in painless hysteroscopy needs to further explore.
methodsA double-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT) was designed, and patients were recruited from the First Central Hospital of Baoding from March 2024 to June 2024. The eligible participants were allocated into ciprofol group (ciprofol combined with alfentanil) and propofol group (propofol combined with alfentanil) at 1:1 ratio. The primary outcome was injection pain. The secondary outcomes included sedation success rate, anesthesia success rate, adverse events, patient satisfaction, and comparison of vital signs before and after administration.
resultsA total of 217 participants were included for analysis, with 109 participants in the ciprofol group and 108 participants in the propofol group. The injection pain rate of ciprofol group (18.35%) was significantly lower than the propofol group (40.74%). Both the ciprofol group and propofol group had 100% of the sedation success rate. The anesthesia success rate between the two groups was comparable (P > 0.05). The rate of adverse events was lower (27.52% vs. 45.37%) and patient satisfaction was higher (9.84 ± 0.45 vs. 9.65 ± 0.85) in the ciprofol group than the propofol group. In addition, values of systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in propofol group were significantly lower than those in ciprofol group at the time of cervical dilation and consciousness recovery.
conclusionsCiprofol exhibits comparable efficacy to that of propofol, and is associated with less injection pain rate, fewer adverse events, higher patient satisfaction, and more stable hemodynamics when used for general anesthesia during the painless hysteroscopy. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: NCT06413862.
