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

contextAlthough international guidelines have been developed for emergency tracheal intubation (ETI), there is little evidence of their applicability in developing countries.

aimsThe aim of this study was done to evaluate the different methods of ETI that are practiced among anesthetist and anesthesia trainees in India outside operating room (OR)/intensive care unit (ICU) settings. SETTINGS AND

designThis was prospective observational audit did among anesthesia personals managing ETI outside OR and ICU. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe study was conducted through an online survey using electronic media. Certified anesthetists and anesthesia trainees were sent a questionnaire where they were asked to complete and submit it online.

resultsOut of 145 respondents, 52% were certified anesthetists. Availability of equipment, technical staff, and visual monitors was a big constraint. About 28% of the participants do not examine the airway before ETI, 61% of participants invariably do not perform rapid sequence induction and intubation, and 89% of the participants have only the bougie at their disposal with the availability of videolaryngoscope (10%) and Fibreoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) (6%) being scarce. About 12% of the respondents use capnography for ETI confirmation. Only 48% of the participants accompany the patient during shifting.

conclusionsOur survey has reported wide disparity during ETI with poor compliance to the international guidelines.
