I-Gel versus laryngeal mask airway (LMA) classic as a conduit for tracheal intubation using ventilating bougie.

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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsSupraglottic airways (SGAs) are generally used for airway management; but can also be used as a conduit for tracheal intubation. Our primary aim was to evaluate i-Gel and laryngeal mask airway (LMA) classic as conduits for tracheal intubation using ventilating bougie by assessing number of attempts and time for insertion of SGAs, ventilating bougie and endotracheal tube (ETT), and total intubation time. MATERIAL AND
methodsA randomized clinical trial was carried out in 58 patients requiring general anesthesia and endotracheal intubation for planned surgery. They were randomly divided into Group I and Group C. After induction of anesthesia, i-Gel was inserted in Group I and LMA Classic in Group C; ventilating bougie was passed through SGA followed by the removal of SGA and railroading of ETT over ventilating bougie. Parameters observed were number of attempts and time taken for device insertion, total intubation time, and hemodynamic variables.
resultsTwenty-nine patients were included in each group. First attempt success rate for SGA insertion (86.2% in Group I and 75.9% in Group C (
conclusionsi-Gel and LMA Classic both can be used as a conduit for tracheal intubation using ventilating bougie with stable hemodynamic parameters.
