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

As a single and reliable parameter for prediction of the difficult airway is missing, the specialist societies for anesthesiology recommend the use of scores that combine the individual parameters. Contemporary scores include head-neck mobility, mouth opening and anatomical distances. Their training and correct performance are essential. For a broad acceptance the performance has to be easy and fast. In addition, before anesthesia a check must be made for pathological alterations (e.g. tumors) in the head and neck region and the patient history must be thoroughly determined. If the patient reports difficulties with securing the airway in the past, these are likely to occur again if they have not been surgically resolved. This includes an accurate documentation of the airway and knowledge of the in-house standard operating procedure on unexpected difficult airways as well as local equipment. Preparation causes work but may save lives.
