Novel Combination Dexmedetomidine and Propofol Anesthetic Regimen for DISE Improves Procedural Efficiency Compared to Single-Agent Regimens.

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
Objectives: This study examines a combination anesthetic regimen of propofol and dexmedetomidine during drug induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) and its procedure time, VOTE findings, and perioperative hemodynamic profiles when compared to procedures conducted with either anesthetic agent alone. Methods: Retrospective chart analysis of 407 patients undergoing DISE at a single institution with anesthetic regimens of dexmedetomidine alone, propofol alone, or a combination of both. Demographic information, DISE findings via VOTE scoring, and perioperative vital signs and timing intervals were compared. Results: With respect to operative time, the combination regimen cohort demonstrated an average operative time of 22.1 min, 14% shorter than the dexmedetomidine only (25.8 min; Conclusion: This novel combination anesthetic regimen of dexmedetomidine and propofol during DISE leads to increased procedural efficiency with preservation of vital sign stability. Level of Evidence: 3.
