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

backgroundAlthough videolaryngoscopes improve glottic visualization, their actual usefulness in intubation is not yet established.

aimsThe primary objective was to compare the ease of oral intubation with the use of 60° angled styletted endotracheal tube versus that performed over bougie inserted under videolaryngoscopic guidance. The secondary objectives were assessment of incidence of airway loss, hemodynamic changes, and time and number of attempts at intubation. SETTINGS AND

designThis prospective randomized study was conducted in a tertiary care institution. PATIENTS AND

methodsSeventy surgical patients requiring oral intubation were randomly allotted to Group S or Group B. Laryngoscopy was performed with Storz STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: Chi-square test and independent sample

resultsThe ease of intubation was significantly more in patients of Group S as compared to Group B (88.6% vs. 25.7%, respectively,

conclusionUse of 60° angled styletted endotracheal tube resulted in easier and faster intubation as compared to intubation over a bougie when used with C-MAC videolaryngoscope.
