Prehospital airway management using the laryngeal tube. An emergency department point of view.
Article in Der Anaesthesist, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
backgroundCompetence in airway management and maintenance of oxygenation and ventilation represent fundamental skills in emergency medicine. The successful use of laryngeal tubes (LT, LT-D, LTS II) to secure the airway in the prehospital setting has been published in the past. However, some complications can be associated with the use of a laryngeal tube.
methodsIn a nonconsecutive case series, problems and complications associated with the use of the laryngeal tube in prehospital emergency medicine as seen by independent observers in the emergency room are presented.
resultsVarious problems and possible complications associated with the use of a laryngeal tube in eight case reports are reported: incorrect placement of the laryngeal tube in the trachea, displacement and/or incorrect placement of the laryngeal tube in the pharynx, tongue and pharyngeal swelling with subsequently difficult laryngoscopy, and inadequate ventilation due to unrecognized airway obstruction and tension pneumothorax.
conclusionAlthough the laryngeal tube is considered to be an effective, safe, and rapidly appropriable supraglottic airway device, it is also associated with adverse effects. In order to prevent tongue swelling, after initial prehospital or in-hospital placement of laryngeal tube and cuff inflation, it is important to adjust and monitor the cuff pressure.
