Korean consensus-based recommendations for preanesthetic gastric ultrasound and anesthetic considerations for GLP-1 receptor agonist-based therapy: a consensus statement from Clinical Practice Guideline Committee of the Korean Society of Anesthesiologists.
Review in Korean journal of anesthesiology, 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
Pulmonary aspiration during anesthesia remains an uncommon but clinically significant perioperative complication associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Although contemporary fasting guidelines recommend minimum fasting intervals to reduce aspiration risk, adherence does not guarantee an empty stomach, particularly in patients with delayed gastric emptying or those receiving medications that impair gastrointestinal motility, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA)-based therapies. Preanesthetic gastric ultrasound has emerged as a practical point-of-care modality for the qualitative and quantitative assessment of gastric content and volume, enabling individualized aspiration risk stratification in selected patients. However, the current evidence base remains insufficient to formally support evidence-graded clinical practice guidelines. The consensus-based recommendations presented in this guideline were developed through expert discussion and review of the available literature, in which robust evidence is lacking. They provide practical guidance on the indications for preanesthetic gastric ultrasound, core examination principles and interpretation, integration of ultrasound findings into perioperative decision-making, management when gastric ultrasound is not feasible, and anesthetic strategies for patients with a full stomach. Special recommendations are included for patients receiving GLP-1 RA-based therapies, emphasizing the continuation of these medications in most patients with individualized risk assessment, consideration of a 24-h clear liquid diet, and the use of gastric ultrasound when delayed gastric emptying is suspected. Preanesthetic gastric ultrasound provides a practical bedside method for assessing gastric content and estimating aspiration risk in patients undergoing anesthesia. These recommendations are intended to support, not replace, clinical judgment and should be refined through future prospective outcome-based studies.
