Hemodynamic and respiratory changes in class I obese versus normal weight patients following propofol induction of anesthesia.
Article in Journal of the West African College of Surgeons. 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
Background: Physiological responses to propofol may defer in class 1 obesity compared to patients of normal weight. To aid decision-making and ensure safety in patients with class 1 obesity, it is important to study their haemodynamic and respiratory responses to propofol. Aim: We aimed to evaluate the haemodynamic and respiratory responses to propofol induction in patients with class 1 obesity in comparison to those with normal weight. Patients and Methods: Seventy patients aged 18-60 years scheduled for surgery under general anaesthesia were recruited and assigned equally to two groups based on the body mass index. All patients received intravenous propofol at 40 mg every 10 s until loss of consciousness. The mean dose of propofol was 132.71 ± 19.30 mg in the obese group and 128.57 ± 27.24 mg in the normal weight group. The blood pressure, oxygen saturation, heart rate, and end tidal carbon dioxide were documented at a 2-min interval. Results: At loss of consciousness, mean systolic blood pressure increased significantly in group O ( Conclusion: Haemodynamic and respiratory parameters remained comparable and within desirable limits following propofol induction in patients with class 1 obesity and normal weight patients.
