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

aimIt remains unclear whether physicians should change intubation approaches after the failed first attempt. We aimed to determine the rescue intervention approaches associated with a higher success rate at the second attempt in the emergency department (ED).

methodsWe analyzed the data from a prospective, multicenter, observational study - the second Japanese Emergency Airway Network Study. The current analysis included all patients who underwent emergency intubation from February 2012 through November 2017. We defined a rescue intubation attempt as a second intubation attempt with any change in intubation approaches (i.e., change in methods, devices, or intubators) from the failed first attempt. The outcome measure was second-attempt success.

resultsOf 2,710 patients with a failed first attempt, 43% underwent a second intubation attempt with changes in intubation approach (i.e., rescue intubation). Rescue intubation attempts were associated with a higher second-attempt success rate compared to non-rescue intubation attempts (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 1.78; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.50-2.12). The rescue intubation approaches associated with a higher second-attempt success were changes from non-rapid sequence intubation (RSI) to RSI (adjusted OR, 2.04; 95% CI, 1.12-3.75), from non-emergency medicine (EM) residents to EM residents (adjusted OR, 2.02; 95% CI, 1.44-2.82), and from non-EM attending physicians to EM attending physicians (adjusted OR, 2.82; 95% CI, 2.14-3.71).

conclusionsIn this large multicenter study, rescue interventions were associated with a higher second-attempt success rate. The data also support the use of RSI and backup by EM residents or EM attending physicians to improve the airway management performance after a failed attempt in the ED.
