Difficult airway management resources and capnography use in Japanese intensive care units: a nationwide cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of anesthesia, 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
purposeThe availability of difficult airway management (DAM) resources and the extent of capnometry use in Japanese intensive care units (ICUs) remained unclear. The purpose of this study was to clarify whether: (1) DAM resources were adequate, and (2) capnometry was routinely applied in Japanese ICUs.
methodsThis nationwide cross-sectional study was conducted from September 2015 to February 2016. All ICUs received a mailed questionnaire about their DAM resources and use of capnometry. Outcome measures were availability of: (1) 24-h in-house backup coverage; (2) a supraglottic airway device (SGA); (3) a dedicated DAM cart; and (4) surgical airway devices, and (5) routine use of capnometry to verify tube placement and for continuous monitoring of ventilator-dependent patients. The association between these outcomes and ICU type (academic, high-volume, closed, surgical) was also analyzed.
resultsOf the 289 ICUs, 196 (67.8 %) returned completed questionnaires. In-house backup coverage and surgical airway devices were highly available (89.3 and 95.9 %), but SGAs and dedicated DAM carts were not (60.2 and 60.7 %). The routine use of capnometry to confirm tube placement was reported by 55.6 % of the ICUs and was highest in closed ICUs (67.2 %, p = 0.03). The rate of continuous capnography monitoring was also 55.6 % and was highest in academic ICUs (64.5 %, p = 0.04).
conclusionIn Japanese ICUs, SGAs and dedicated DAM carts were less available, and capnometry was not universally applied either to confirm tube placement, or for continuous monitoring of ventilated patients. Our study revealed areas in need of improvement.
