Key study outcomes

Variable	Ciprofol group (n = 60)	Propofol group (n = 60)	P value
Onset of successful induction (s, mean ± SD)	34.8 ± 15.5	35.4 ± 9.5	0.832
Time to disappearance of eyelash reflex (s, mean ± SD)	33.7 ± 10.6	34.0 ± 6.5	0.860

Successful induction: no need for alternative sedatives or anesthesia drugs, and no need for > 2 study drug top-up doses within 5 min following the start of study drug administration; Time to the disappearance of eyelash reflex: the interval between the initiation of study drug administration and eyelash reflex disappearance
