Optimising remote site airway management kit dump using the SCRAM bag-a randomised controlled trial.
Article in Perioperative medicine (London, England), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundEmergency airway management may be required at any hospital location. Remote site management is associated with increased airway morbidity and mortality. Poor planning and interrupted workflow are significant contributors. Equipment may be unfamiliar, difficult to locate or inadequate.The SCRAM (Structured CRitical Airway Management) bag aims to provide a portable, structured and reproducible approach to airway management preparation. We hypothesised that SCRAM bag use reduces equipment preparation time, the rate of error and operator cognitive load.
methodsFifty experienced anaesthetists were randomised into two groups and asked to prepare (kit dump) for and manage a simulated remote site difficult airway scenario. The control group (
resultsUsing the SCRAM bag, a 29% reduction in kit dump time (111.7 ± 29.5 vs 156.7 ± 45.1,
conclusionThe SCRAM bag facilitates a quicker, less challenging kit dump with significantly fewer errors. We propose that this would reduce delay to airway management, reduce cognitive load and provide an improved capability to manage anticipated and unanticipated airway events.
