Combined Use of a Ramped Position Pillow and Bean Bag in a Morbidly Obese Patient Undergoing Robotic Pelvic Surgery: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Vacuum bean bags improve patient stability and reduce pressure- and nerve-related injuries during pelvic robotic surgery. In morbidly obese patients, the ramped position enhances airway management and ventilation, but maintaining it throughout surgery can be challenging. We report a case in which a ramped pillow was kept atop a vacuum bean bag for the entire procedure, eliminating the need for repositioning after intubation and before extubation. This approach minimized airway and line displacement, reduced staff strain, and preserved optimal oxygenation and ventilation during emergence and post-extubation. The case highlighted the importance of individualized, tailored positioning strategies for morbidly obese patients undergoing prolonged robotic procedures.
