1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: McKeown minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE-McKeown) is a safe and feasible surgical method. However, the conventional anesthetic management with endotracheal intubation for MIE-McKeown is associated with high respiratory morbidity. The discontinuous spontaneous ventilating anesthesia by laryngeal mask may have advantages over conventional intubated anesthesia in MIE-McKeown. This study was designed to describe the techniques and evaluate the feasibility of discontinuous spontaneous ventilating anesthesia by laryngeal mask for MIE-McKeown. Methods: Between October 2022 and September 2024, 33 patients underwent MIE-McKeown at First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University. The study cohort was divided into a discontinuous spontaneous ventilating anesthesia group (Group A) and an intubated anesthesia group (Group B). We retrospectively compared the characteristics and perioperative outcomes of patients who underwent MIE-McKeown. Results: The clinical characteristics of Group A were not different from Group B except for gender. Non-inferiority analysis demonstrated that in Group A, both the lowest pulse oxygen saturation (SpO Conclusions: The technique of discontinuous spontaneous ventilating anesthesia by laryngeal mask for MIE-McKeown is considered feasible. Careful evaluation of the patients, preoperative assessment and skillful surgical technique are the key factors of successful discontinuous spontaneous ventilating anesthesia by laryngeal mask for MIE-McKeown. The discontinuous spontaneous ventilating anesthesia by laryngeal mask can be a valid alternative to the conventional intubated anesthesia for MIE-McKeown.
