Effects of intravenous lignocaine on haemodynamic responses to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation in adults under general anaesthesia: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

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: Haemodynamic fluctuations during laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation remain a key concern in anaesthetic practice, with cardiovascular stress responses posing risks of serious complications. This meta-analysis aims to assess the benefits and risks of pre-intubation intravenous (IV) lignocaine, focusing on enhancing haemodynamic stability and developing evidence-based dosing guidelines. Methods: Searches were performed in PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov, and key references up to 16 February 2025 to identify randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing adult patients who received or did not receive IV lignocaine prior to tracheal intubation. Data from eligible studies were pooled to calculate the combined risk ratio (RR) or mean difference (MD). Results: Eighteen studies (1056 participants) were included. A single IV injection of lignocaine at 40 mg fixed-dose and 0.5-2 mg/kg was studied for preventing haemodynamic fluctuations induced by laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation. Relative to non-lignocaine, IV lignocaine suppressed the increases in mean arterial pressure (MAP) [MD: -3.85; 95% confidence interval (CI): -6.61, -1.09; Conclusions: IV lignocaine 1-2 mg/kg can effectively suppress the increase in MAP caused by laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation. However, the effectiveness of lignocaine regarding HR seems to require optimisation based on both dosage and ethnicity.
