Etomidate-propofol combination in painless gastrointestinal endoscopy for elderly patients: A comparative study.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 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
backgroundElderly patients often display age-related physiological decline, which increases their susceptibility to complications during medical procedures. Therefore, it is clinically imperative to refine anesthetic protocols for painless gastroscopy in this vulnerable population.
aimTo explore the effects of the etomidate-propofol combination on anesthesia quality, compliance, and adverse reactions in elderly patients undergoing painless gastrointestinal endoscopy.
methodsA total of 103 elderly patients scheduled for painless gastrointestinal endoscopy at the Hospital of Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone (Hannan District) between October 2022 and October 2024 were enrolled. The participants were divided into a control group (
resultsThe observation group had significantly shorter anesthesia induction, recovery, and orientation recovery times than the control group. Moreover, the observation group showed higher compliance; greater hemodynamic stability at preanesthesia (T0), during anesthesia (T1), and postrecovery (T2) time points; and a significantly lower incidence of adverse reactions. The VAS and Ramsay scores at 5, 30, and 60 minutes after anesthesia recovery were also significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group.
conclusionThe etomidate-propofol combination for painless gastrointestinal endoscopy in elderly patients may provide superior anesthesia quality and improved compliance and safety, making it a promising approach for clinical application.
