Association of Anesthesia Type and Vasoconstrictor Use with Intranodal Lymphangiography Duration: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study.
Observational study in Journal of vascular and interventional radiology : JVIR, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTo investigate whether anesthesia type (sedation vs general anesthesia [GA]) or α MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective observational study reviewed intranodal lymphangiography from 2 academic hospitals (2015-2022). A multiple linear regression model assessed the association of anesthesia type and vasoconstrictor administration with intralymphatic contrast agent transit time, controlled for confounders.
resultsA total of 147 lymphangiograms from 141 patients (median age, 64 years [interquartile range, 56-72 years]) were reviewed. Sedation (vs GA) was associated with 43% shorter log-transformed contrast agent transit time (βˆ = 1.43; 95% CI, 1.04-1.97; P = .029), reflecting a 13-minute faster median contrast agent transit time (absolute standardized difference, 0.44). Vasoconstrictor administration was not associated with contrast agent transit time (bolus administration, βˆ = 0.79 [95% CI, 0.53-1.18; P = .251]; infusion and bolus administration, βˆ = 0.89 [95% CI, 0.63-1.25; P = .495]). In addition to its association with increased contrast agent transit time, GA also added a median of 16 minutes (range, 11.0-22.3 minutes) of anesthesiology care time to cases.
conclusionsSedation (vs GA), but not vasoconstrictor administration, was associated with shorter contrast agent transit time and anesthesiology care time. This proof-of-concept clinical evidence that anesthesia may modulate lymphatic function sheds light on the lymphatic system as a collateral pharmacologic target of anesthetics.
