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
Introduction: This study aimed to compare the effects of alfentanil and sufentanil on cough response during tracheal extubation in patients undergoing suspension laryngoscopy surgery. Methods: In this prospective, randomized controlled trial, 80 patients (ASA I-II) scheduled for elective suspension laryngoscopy were enrolled. Patients were randomly allocated to receive either alfentanil (Group A, Results: The incidence of cough within 5 min after tracheal extubation was significantly higher in Group A than in Group S (69.0% [29/42] vs. 44.7% [17/38]; OR 2.76, 95%CI 1.08-7.00; Conclusion: In suspension laryngoscopy surgery, alfentanil is associated with a lower incidence of cough during induction but a higher incidence of cough during extubation compared with sufentanil. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of moderate-to-severe cough between alfentanil and sufentanil.
