Evaluation of the SaCoVLM, a novel third-generation video laryngeal mask: a prospective observational pilot study.
Observational study in BMC anesthesiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07007403 (The New Third Generation Video Laryngeal Mask Evaluation), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundThe laryngeal mask airway ( LMA ) is a well-established device for securing the airway, typically inserted using a blind technique. However, blind insertion may result in suboptimal alignment and the need for reinsertion, which can increase the risk of adverse events. Therefore, in this pilot study, we aimed to conduct a preliminary evaluation and gather initial clinical experience with the new video laryngeal mask, SaCoVLM™. METHODS AND MATERIALS: In this prospective observational study, the SaCoVLM™ was used for airway management in patients undergoing general anaesthesia. We assessed key quality parameters commonly used to compare the performance of different laryngeal masks. Primary outcome was first attempt success rate. Secondary outcomes were time to achieve adequate ventilation, oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP), and the incidence of adverse events.
resultsA total of 50 patients undergoing general anaesthesia were enrolled. The first-attempt insertion success rate was 96%. The mean time to achieve adequate ventilation was 13± 2.4 s, and the mean OLP was 38± 3.8 mbar. The overall incidence of adverse events related to video laryngeal mask usage was 6%, with no serious adverse events observed.
conclusionThe SaCoVLM™ appears to be a promising alternative for airway management in patients undergoing general anaesthesia, demonstrating favourable performance across key clinical parameters.
