Use of point-of-care ultrasound to assess esophageal insufflation during bag mask ventilation: A case report.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Bag-valve-mask ventilation is a basic airway management technique often used in patients with acute respiratory failure. Although highly effective in providing oxygenation and ventilation, this technique has been associated with gastric regurgitation and tracheal aspiration. In this case, the esophagus visualized with bedside ultrasonography during bag-mask ventilation of an unresponsive and critically ill patient. Images were obtained both with and without cricoid pressure. Additionally, images were obtained during ultrasound-guided probe pressure on the lateral neck. Esophageal insufflation was identified consistently during bag mask ventilation. Cricoid pressure did not prevent esophageal insufflation. Ultrasound-guided probe pressure attenuated esophageal insufflation. This case depicts a unique instance of using a novel method to assess breath delivery during bag mask ventilation of a critically ill patient.
