Intravenous Sedation of a Patient With Morbid Obesity and Severe Sleep Apnea Syndrome for Dental Treatment: A Case Report.
Article in Anesthesia progress, 2026. 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
Obesity and sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) are significant risk factors for airway management, necessitating comprehensive preoperative evaluation, careful preparation, and adaptive strategies to prevent complications, such as hypoxemia, during sedation and general anesthesia. We report the use of intravenous moderate/deep sedation to manage a patient with morbid obesity and severe SAS undergoing dental treatment using a high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) system. The sedation was performed with a propofol infusion and was closely monitored using bispectral index (BIS) monitoring and capnography. Preparations for general anesthesia were made in case of severe apnea or hypoxemia. No significant airway obstruction or desaturation was observed perioperatively. The successful use of a HFNC system in this patient highlights the importance of tailored preoperative planning and meticulous airway management during dental sedations for patients with severe obesity and SAS.
