Comparison of the effects of an endotracheal tube and a V-gel airway device on intraocular pressure and haemodynamic responses in anaesthetised cats.
Article in The Veterinary record, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to compare the effects of placing an endotracheal tube (ETT) versus a V-gel airway device on intraocular pressure (IOP), heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO
methodsTwenty animals were randomly assigned to one of two groups: the ETT group (n = 10) or the V-gel group (n = 10). IOP, HR, MAP, and SpO
resultsIOP increased in both groups after intubation, with significantly higher values in the V-gel group at T LIMITATION: The anaesthetic protocol may have influenced the IOP and HR, potentially confounding comparisons between the ETT and V-gel groups.
conclusionThe V-gel airway device resulted in higher IOP and HR values following intubation than the ETT group. Therefore, the V-gel may not be ideal for feline patients with ocular disease or cardiovascular compromise, where minimising IOP and cardiovascular stimulation is critical.
