1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: The provision of comfortable and safe environment for painless gastroscopy in obese patients is an urgent clinical problem. This study aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of the novel Li anesthetic protocol for obesity (LAPO) which included remifentanil-propofol regimen, manual right hypochondrial compression (MRHC), easy-to-create mask, and jaw thrust at preoperative painless gastroscopy in obese patients. Patients and Methods: This prospective, single-center, single-arm trial recruited 106 participants underwent LAPO for gastroscopy. The primary outcome was the incidence of hypoxemia (peripheral oxygen saturation [SpO Results: The 98 obese patients under LAPO, the median body mass index (BMI) was 39.2 kg/m Conclusion: Compared with CAPO, LAPO reduced the incidence of hypoxemia from 40.4% to 27.5%, so, LAPO was safe and effective for painless gastroscopy. The finding might provide some new schedules for anesthetic management in the absence of advanced airway support instruments. Clinical Trial Registration: ChiCTR2300077889.
