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
backgroundHypotension often occurs during intraoperative anesthesia induction in gynecological laparoscopic surgery. Remimazolam is reportedly associated with lesser intraoperative hypotension than propofol. This trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of propofol combined with remimazolam besylate on post-induction hypotension (PIH) in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery.
methodsAll enrolled patients were randomly assigned to receive propofol (Group P), remimazolam besylate plus propofol (Group PR), or remimazolam besylate (Group R). Patients in group P received 2.0 mg/kg propofol, Sufentanil 0.4 μg/kg, and rocuronium bromide 0.8 mg/kg; Patients in group PR received remimazolam besylate 0.2 mg/kg, propofol 1.0 mg/kg, Sufentanil 0.4 μg/kg, and rocuronium bromide 0.8 mg/kg; Patients in group R received remimazolam besylate 0.4 mg/kg, Sufentanil 0.4 μg/kg, and rocuronium bromide 0.8 mg/kg; the anesthesia was maintained with propofol 4-10 mg/kg/h and remifentanil 0.1-0.3 μg/kg/min. The primary outcome was the incidence of hypotension after anesthesia induction. Hypotension was defined as a mean arterial pressure (MAP) reduced 30% or more from the baseline MAP value or MAP < 65 mmHg. Blood pressure was recorded five times during anesthesia. Time points T0, T1, T2, T3 and T4, were base line, before tracheal intubation, 1 min after tracheal intubation, 5 min after intubation, and immediately after surgical skin incision, respectively. The secondary outcomes were heart rate and bispectral index (BIS). Heart rate and BIS were measured from T0 to T4.
resultsOne hundred sixty-nine patients were included in this study. A total of 30 patients in the three groups developed hypotension after anesthesia induction, among which the incidence of PIH induced in group P was 31.6% (18/57), the incidence of PIH induced in group PR was 14.3% (8/56), and the incidence of PIH induced group R 7.1% (4/56), and there was a statistical difference in the incidence of PIH between the three groups (χ2 = 12.24, p = 0.0022). The heart rates in group R (70.53 ± 13.36 bpm, 88.48 ± 13.53 bpm, and 72.68 ± 13.42 bpm) were significantly higher than that in group P (63.68 ± 10.76 bpm, 80.25 ± 12.50 bpm, and 66.35 ± 11.56 bpm) at T1, T2 and T4 (p < 0.05, respectively). The heart rate in group R (88.48 ± 13.53 bpm) was significantly higher than that in group PR (80.00 ± 13.42 bpm) at T2 (p < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between group PR and group P (p > 0.05). BIS was significantly higher in group R than that in group P and in group PR at T3 and T4 (p < 0.05, respectively). There was no statistically significant difference between group PR and group P (p > 0.05).
conclusionsBoth Propofol plus remimazolam besylate and remimazolam besylate alone can reduce PIH, but propofol plus remimazolam besylate smooths the heart rate after general anesthesia undergoing gynecological laparoscopic.
