Effects of total intravenous anesthesia on postoperative quality of recovery and the levels of inflammatory factors in patients undergoing retroperitoneal endoscopic surgery in urology: Study protocol for a randomized, controlled trial.

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
introductionThe utilisation of propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia has been demonstrated to reduce the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, as well as postoperative cognitive dysfunction, in patients undergoing general anesthesia. The objective of the present study is to explore the impact of total intravenous anaesthesia on the postoperative recovery process and the levels of inflammatory factors in urology patients undergoing retroperitoneal endoscopic surgery.
methodsThis randomized controlled clinical trial is to be carried out at the Guanyun People's Hospital, China. Eighty adult participants scheduled for urological retroperitoneoscopic surgery under general anesthesia will be randomly distributed between two groups, namely the total intravenous anesthesia group and the inhalation anesthesia group (with a total of 40 participants in each group). The random distribution of participants between the two groups will be in a 1:1 ratio. The induction of anaesthesia will be administered to all patients using a combination of propofol, cisatracurium, and sufentanil. During the maintenance of general anaesthesia, the total intravenous anesthesia group will be administered propofol and remifentanil. Conversely, the inhalation anaesthesia group will be given sevoflurane and remifentanil. The primary outcome is measured by the patient's Global Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40) score on post-operative day 1 (POD 1). The secondary outcomes include QoR-40 score on POD 2 and POD 3, levels of proinflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, and interleukin-6), pain scores at rest and while coughing, time to extubate, length of patients' stay in the post-anesthesia care unit, awakening time, ramsay sedation score on awakening, adverse events (postoperative symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, headache, respiratory depression, hypoxemia). All analyses will be conducted in the modified intention-to-treat population. DISCUSSION: This randomised controlled trial is designed to detect the effects of total intravenous anaesthesia on the quality of recovery after surgery and the levels of inflammatory factors in the postoperative period, as measured in patients undergoing retroperitoneoscopic urological surgery. The findings will yield insights that will contribute to effective postoperative recovery strategies in patients who undergo retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery for urinary system-related procedures.
