Comparison of paediatric King Vision™ videolaryngoscope and Macintosh laryngoscope for elective tracheal intubation in children of age less than 1 year: A randomised clinical trial.
Article in Indian journal of anaesthesia, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsPaediatric airway, because of its consistent anatomical differences from that of an adult, often encounters difficulty in aligning the line of sight with the laryngeal inlet during intubation. Paediatric videolaryngoscopes (VLs), by obviating the need for aligning the line of sight with the glottis, offer several advantages over direct laryngoscopy. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the recently introduced paediatric King Vision™ VL (KVL) and the direct laryngoscope with Macintosh blade for elective tracheal intubation in infants of age <1 year.
methodsSeventy-eight infants of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status 1 and 2, scheduled for elective surgery, were enrolled for this prospective randomised clinical trial and randomised into either of the two groups - Group K and Group C, where the infants were intubated using size 1 King Vision or direct laryngoscope with Macintosh blade. The primary objective of this study was the time taken for intubation and the first-attempt intubation success rate.
resultsTime to intubate (25.90 ± 2.34 s vs. 25.03 ± 1.42 s,
conclusionThe outcome of KVL and Macintosh laryngoscope was similar in terms of time taken for intubation and first-attempt intubation success rate with KVL having superior glottic visualisation, better ease of intubation and lower intubation difficulty score for elective intubations in children of age <1 year.
