Comparative Study of Intravenous vs Inhalational Maintenance Anaesthesia on Postoperative Emergence Agitation and Recovery Parameters After General Anaesthesia.

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: Emergence agitation (EA) is a common phenomenon observed in patients recovering from general anaesthesia, potentially leading to self-injury and compromised recovery quality. Objectives: This research aims to evaluate the outcome of intravenous and inhalational maintenance anaesthesia on postoperative EA and other recovery parameters. Materials and Methods: This research was conducted with 100 patients undergoing elective surgeries under general anaesthesia. Patients were divided into two groups: Group I received intravenous maintenance with propofol, while Group II received inhalational maintenance with sevoflurane. EA was evaluated using the Riker Sedation-Agitation Scale at predetermined intervals postoperatively. Recovery parameters such as time to extubating, orientation, and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) were also recorded. Results: Group I demonstrated a considerably lower incidence of EA in comparison to Group II (10% vs. 30%, Conclusion: Intravenous maintenance anaesthesia with propofol is connected with a lower incidence of emergence agitation and PONV compared to inhalational maintenance with sevoflurane. These findings suggest that propofol may be a preferable agent for maintenance anaesthesia in terms of postoperative recovery quality.
