Comparison of the oropharyngeal leak pressure in head rotation between a first-generation laryngeal mask and the i-gel laryngeal mask during general anesthesia - a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC anesthesiology, 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
backgroundThe laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is essential in anesthesia, using an air-inflatable cuff for optimal pharyngeal fit. The i-gel
methodsPatients undergoing elective surgery securing the airway with either cLMA or i-gel were included. Exclusion criteria included a Body Mass Index > 30 kg/m², cervical spine pathologies or restricted head rotation. OLP was measured after induction at 60° bilateral head rotation for primary outcome. Secondary outcomes were OLP at 0° head rotation and postoperative complications on postoperative day 1.
results116 patients were randomized to either the cLMA (n = 60) or i-gel (n = 56) group. No significant difference was found in the OLP with 60° head rotation to the left (cLMA 20 cmH
conclusionsThis study demonstrated comparable OLP between cLMA and i-gel during head rotation. This indicates equivalent efficacy and seal integrity of both LMAs during head rotation, resulting in sufficient tidal volumes during rotated head positions.
