Prediction of appropriate formula for nasotracheal tube size in developmental disability children.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesDevelopmental disability children have differences in growth. Therefore, tube size selection is important for nasotracheal intubation. In our previous study for healthy children undergoing dental surgery, height was the most suitable factor to predict nasotracheal tube size. The aim of this study was to find the most suitable formula for selection of nasotracheal tube size for them, retrospectively. MATERIAL AND
methodsDevelopmental disability children aged 2 to 10 years were included in this study. They were intubated nasotracheally from April 2012 until May 2017. Their actually intubated tube sizes were checked. The predicted tube sizes were calculated according to the formulas by the backgrounds: the diameter of the trachea at the 6th cervical (C6), 7th cervical (C7), and 2nd thoracic vertebrae (T2) in X-ray. The actually intubated tube sizes were compared with predicted sizes. Data were analyzed using Spearman's regression analysis.
resultsThe tube sizes with 5.0, 5.5, and 6.0 mm ID were intubated in 75 patients. The age-based formula was the most suitable; the correlation coefficients (r
conclusionThe age-based formula could be the most suitable for predicting nasotracheal tube size in developmental disability children aged 2 to 10 years. One smaller size by the age formula was most suitable at first trial tube. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The present data indicate that the selection of nasotracheal tube using one smaller size by the age formula (ID = 4 + age [years]/4) might be useful for developmental disability children.
