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
backgroundSore throat and hoarseness are two common complications of intubation in patients with general anesthesia. This research aimed to compare the effect of different endotracheal cuff pressures on sore throat and hoarseness after general anesthesia. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe present double-blinded clinical trial was conducted on 45 patients who are candidates for surgery with general anesthesia in autumn and winter 2021. The participants were divided into three groups of 15 through a permuted block randomization. The 20-24 cm H2O (level of pressure) group was labeled as A, and the 25-29 cm H2O group B and the 30-34 cm H2O group was known as group C. All the patients were operated. The endotracheal intubation was done for men with tubes #8-8.5 and for women with tubes 7-7.5. The presence and severity sore throat and the hoarseness after operation were checked by a nurse after recovery. Data were recorded in a researcher-made checklist. The data were analyzed in SPSS 19.
resultsThe results revealed that the majority of participants suffered a slight hoarseness within the 1
conclusionAccording to the results of the present study, despite the fact that the range of 20 to 34 cm of water is a safe and risk-free range in terms of causing sore throat and hoarseness, and there was no difference between the pressures in the three groups, but at higher pressure (groups 2 and 3), the amount of sore throat and hoarseness was more and there was a statistically significant difference at different times within group. Therefore, as much as possible, the amount of pressure should be adjusted according to the need and avoid applying excess pressure.
