Airway Anesthesia for Awake Tracheal Intubation: A Review of the Literature.
Review in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Airway topicalization is frequently utilized by anesthesiologists to facilitate open airway procedures, aid intubation for a difficult airway, and prevent adverse respiratory events. This review article summarizes the techniques available for airway topicalization for a patient who is deemed to be difficult to intubate. We focus on the indications for use, local anesthetic maximum dosages and safety profiles, sedation techniques, and trials and pitfalls during airway topicalization for difficult intubation.
