Efficacy of nasal clips combined with nasal cannulas in preventing hypoxemia during gastrointestinal endoscopy with sedation: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC anesthesiology, 2025. 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
backgroundGastrointestinal endoscopy with sedation is frequently complicated by hypoxemia. Nasal cannulas have limitations in eliminating hypoxemia. We hypothesized that the combination of nasal clips and nasal cannulas would improve the inspired oxygen concentrations and prevent hypoxemia compared with the use of nasal cannulas alone.
methodsA total of 600 adult patients were randomly assigned to receive supplemental oxygen through single-lumen nasal cannulas or through the combination of nasal clips and nasal cannulas. The primary outcome was the incidence of hypoxemia. Additionally, subclinical respiratory depression and severe hypoxemia, duration of hypoxemia, lowest SpO
resultsThree hundred patients in the nasal clip group and 296 patients in the nasal cannula group were included in the intention-to-treat analysis. Nasal clips significantly decreased the incidence of hypoxemia from 25.0-17.7%(RR = 0.707, 95% CI = 0.516 to 0.967, P = 0.029). The median and interquartile range of lowest SpO
conclusionsThe combination of nasal clips and cannulas reduces hypoxemia during gastrointestinal endoscopy with sedation, demonstrating a significant advantage over the sole use of nasal cannulas, with tolerable adverse events.
