Influence of head rotation on oropharyngeal leak pressure of LMA-Protector
Article in Indian journal of anaesthesia, 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
Background and Aims: The most important parameter to provide adequate and safe ventilation for the supralaryngeal airway device (SAD) is its sealing effectivity measured as oropharyngeal leak pressure (OPLP). Various studies have been conducted to elucidate the effects of head extension and flexion on the OPLP of SAD devices; however, the literature regarding the influence of head rotation on OPLP is limited. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate and compare the influence of head rotation on the OPLP of LMA-Protector Methods: Sixty patients of either gender scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly allocated into two Group, namely group L and Group I. Ten min following the induction of pneumoperitoneum, OPLP was recorded at 0°, 30°, and 60° left head rotation. The insertion characteristics of both SADs were also recorded and compared. Normally distributed continuous variables were compared using the unpaired Results: OPLP of Group L and Group I was comparable in neutral and 30° head rotation. OPLP was significantly higher in the LMA-Protector compared to the i-gel® at 60° head rotation ( Conclusion: OPLP of Group L and Group I was comparable in neutral and 30° head rotation. LMA-Protector
