A prospective, randomised trial comparing the quality of recovery between full inhalation anaesthesia and total intravenous anaesthesia post gynaecological surgery.
Article in Qatar medical journal, 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
Background: Assessing the quality of recovery (QOR) after open gynaecological surgery done under general anaesthesia (GA) is one of the methods to evaluate anaesthesia outcomes effectively. GA can be administered as full inhalation anaesthesia (FIA) and/or total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA). Studies have not compared QOR between TIVA and FIA in this cohort. Our study aims to compare the effect of TIVA and FIA on postoperative recovery of patients assessed by the Quality of Recovery-40 (QOR-40) questionnaire. Methods: One hundred and eight consenting adult patients posted for open gynaecological surgeries under GA were randomly allocated to Sevoflurane-based full inhalation anaesthesia (Group FIA) or propofol-based TIVA (Group TIVA). The primary outcome was comparing the QOR-40 score on the first postoperative day (POD1). Comparing QOR-40 on POD2, extubation time, and Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale (MOAA/S) score after extubation were the secondary outcomes. Epidural analgesia was provided throughout the study period in both groups. Results: The mean QOR-40 score in group FIA was not significantly different from that in group TIVA (171.44 ± 7.43 vs. 171.37 ± 7.48; Conclusion: Our study found no significant difference in QOR-40 score, extubation time, and MOAA/S score between group FIA and TIVA.
