This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief as it contains fabricated/falsified data. The Editor-in-Chief decision was based on the investigation by the Japanese Society of Anesthesiologists which concluded that no research was conducted and all the data including patient backgrounds were fabricated.

Meta Analysis Comparative Study
C-MAC videolaryngoscope versus Macintosh laryngoscope for tracheal intubation: A systematic review and meta-analysis with trial sequential analysis.
The C-MAC laryngoscope (C-MAC) is a videolaryngoscope that uses a modified Macintosh blade. Although several anecdotal reports exist, it remains unclear whether the C-MAC is superior to the Macintosh laryngoscope for tracheal intubation in the adult population. ⋯ The C-MAC provided better glottic visualisation and less ELM (GRADE: Very Low or Moderate), with improved success rates, glottic visualisation, and less ELM in difficult airways.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of dexmedetomidine on intraocular pressure in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy under total intravenous anesthesia: A randomized, double blinded placebo controlled clinical trial.
To study the effects of intraoperative dexmedetomidine on the intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP) under propofol-remifentanil anesthesia. ⋯ Dexmedetomidine combined with propofol decreases IOP in the steep Trendelenburg position during RALRP.

Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Intravenous versus inhalational anesthesia for pediatric inpatient surgery - A systematic review and meta-analysis.
General anesthesia is commonly used in pediatric inpatient surgery. It can be induced and maintained by either intravenous or volatile anesthetic agents. We aimed to elucidate whether intravenous or volatile anesthetic agents are superior with regards to preventing anesthesia-related complications. ⋯ Taken together, propofol increased the risk of oculocardiac reflex whereas PONV was less frequent following intravenous anesthetics compared to volatile anesthetics. The study results may help tailoring the use of either intravenous of volatile anesthetics onto the needs of pediatric inpatients. Given the clinical or statistical heterogeneity among the studies, we call for a scientific effort to increase the body of evidence on anesthetic agents in pediatric general anesthesia.
