Quality of Recovery after Intraoral Surgery: Total Intravenous Anaesthesia versus Sevoflurane: A Randomised Controlled Trial.
Article in Acta stomatologica Croatica, 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
Objectives: To compare the quality of recovery between total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) with propofol and balanced inhalational anaesthesia with sevoflurane in patients undergoing intraoral surgical procedures. Materials and Methods: We conducted a prospective randomised controlled clinical trial on 50 patients (25 per group) who underwent intraoral surgical procedures longer than 30 minutes. The primary outcome was the quality of recovery measured by the QoR-40 questionnaire at 1 hour, 24 hours, and 30 days after surgery. Secondary outcomes included bite force, hand grip strength, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), and postoperative shivering. Results: QoR-40 scores did not differ between groups at any time point (differences from -0.04 to 1.2 points, all p>0.05). Bite force and hand grip strength did not differ between groups. However, TIVA eliminated PONV (0% vs 28%, p=0.010, NNT=4) and shivering (0% vs 36%, p=0.002, NNT=3). Conclusion: TIVA and sevoflurane result in a similar quality of recovery after intraoral procedures. However, TIVA eliminates PONV and shivering, which represents a clinically significant benefit for patients undergoing intraoral surgery.
