Lidocaine-eluting endotracheal tube effectively attenuates intubation related airway response.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 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
backgroundLidocaine (LDC) is a local anesthetic widely used to relieve intubation-related airway responses. However, low drug concentration and short effective duration of LDC is inadequate to provide a satisfactory anesthetic effect on the surface of the airway. The present study sought to develop a LDC-delivery endotracheal tube (ETT) to achieve high local drug concentration and sustained drug release with the aim of attenuating an intubation-related airway response.
methodsETTs and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) discs were coated with different molecular weight (MW) poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA: 50/50; MW: 3,000, 6,000, and 10,000) loaded with LDC by airbrush spray. The morphology of LDC-eluting coatings was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy.
