[Out-of-hospital airway management in trauma patients : Experiences with the C-MAC® video laryngoscope].
Trial report in Der Unfallchirurg, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundSecuring the airway is the top priority in trauma resuscitation. The most important factor for successful endotracheal intubation (ETI) is good visualization of the vocal cords. The aim of this study was to summarize the practical experiences with the C-MAC® video laryngoscope as initial device in out-of-hospital airway management of trauma patients.
methodsThe C-MAC® video laryngoscope uses standard Macintosh shaped laryngoscope blades. At the Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) Christoph 22 it is used as the initial device for every out-of-hospital ETI. All prehospital data on ETI involving trauma patients were documented for a period of 17 months.
resultsA total of 116 out-of-hospital ETIs were enrolled in this study (overall success rate 100 %). In 88.8 % the first attempt was successful, whereas in 10.3 % a second and in 0.9 % a third ETI attempt was necessary. No patient required alternative airway devices or surgical airway interventions. The results of a subgroup with an immobilized cervical spine (n = 17) did not show any increased difficulties.
conclusionThe use of the C-MAC® video laryngoscope by experienced anesthesiologists in an out-of-hospital setting seems to be a safe method even in patients with an immobilized cervical spine. Adverse laryngoscopy results (C/L III and IV) were reduced compared to other studies.
