Comparing the efficacy of bag-valve mask, endotracheal intubation, and laryngeal mask airway for subjects with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: an indirect meta-analysis.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundFor subjects with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), bag-valve mask (BVM), endotracheal intubation (ETI), and laryngeal mask airway (LMA) are the most common methods of ventilatory support; however, the best choice remains controversial.
methodsA comprehensive search of online databases was performed. A traditional meta-analysis was performed to determine the risk ratio of BVM
resultsA total of 13 full-text articles reporting the efficacy of BVM, ETI, and LMA were considered in this analysis. BVM and LMA had the same effect regarding return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) (23%
conclusionsETI should be considered for airway management as early as possible, which can improve the subject's success rate of recovery and survival to admission rate. In future, large-scale, multi-center, randomized controlled studies should be conducted to evaluate the exact efficacy of BVM, ETI, and LMA for the first aid of subjects with OHCA.
