Safety and Feasibility of Deep Sedation With a Tulip Airway and Jaw Elevation Device During Electrophysiology Procedures: A Single-Center Experience of 647 Consecutive Cases.
Article in Journal of arrhythmia, 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
Background: Safe and stable deep sedation is essential for electrophysiology procedures. We developed a propofol-free deep sedation protocol using the Tulip airway and a jaw elevation device (JED). Methods: This single-center retrospective study analyzed 647 consecutive patients without an anticipated difficult airway (634 atrial fibrillation ablation; 13 left atrial appendage closure) who underwent deep sedation. Endpoints included procedural completion, conversion to intubation, sedation discontinuation, and procedure-related complications. Results: All procedures were completed. One (0.2%) patient required intubation, and 3 (0.5%) experienced procedure-related complications. Conclusion: Deep sedation with the Tulip airway and JED was safe and feasible in selected lower-risk patients.
