1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The supraglottic airway (SGA) is increasingly considered as a more effective alternative for emergency ventilation compared to bag mask ventilation and is propagated as an "easily" manageable method, compared to endotracheal intubation especially under the often adverse out-of-hospital conditions. Since the skill can easily be acquired during mannequin training, more and more rescue services train their personnel in the use of SGA devices and allow or even recommend their application also by nonphysicians. This recommendation, however, is not unequivocally supported by properly designed and conducted trials. Moreover, the solely available observational studies show contradictory results. Neither superiority nor inferiority of SGAs has been shown. They may, however, be accepted as an addendum to other prehospital ventilation approaches. The SGA airway comprises various problems and inherited risks similar to other ventilation techniques. Randomized studies investigating different techniques for prehospital emergency ventilation are lacking, as are controlled studies comparing SGA devices.
