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
Background: Extubation in difficult airways patients may provoke cough and laryngospasm. To reduce airway irritation after intubation, Blockbuster Intubating Laryngeal Mask Airway (BBILMA) is mainly used. Materials and Methods: Patients with difficult airway were divided into two groups with 20 patients in each. BBILMA was left inside the endotracheal tube even after extubation in the LT group. Mask airway was removed once the intubation was done in the ET group. Postoperative sore throat, cough, hoarseness, leak pressure, and hemodynamics were noted up to 48 hours in both the groups. Results: Both groups showed comparable demographics and extubation characteristics. Oropharyngeal leak pressures were almost similar-30.5 ± 5.4 (LT) and 28.8 ± 7.2 (ET). Fiberoptic scores were likewise comparable at 3.2 ± 0.7 (LT) and 3.1 ± 0.8 (ET). At 48 hours, the LT group reported cough in one patient and sore throat in four, with no hoarseness; the ET group reported cough in two patients, sore throat in four, and hoarseness in one. Conclusion: BBILMA does not increase postoperative throat discomfort when left
