Airway management in maxillofacial trauma.
Review in Journal of anaesthesiology, clinical pharmacology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Airway management of patients with maxillofacial trauma remains a challenging task for an anesthesiologist in the emergency and perioperative settings due to anatomical distortion. Detailed knowledge of maxillofacial and airway anatomy is desired for the correct diagnosis of extent and severity of the injury. Basic principles of advanced trauma life support protocols should be followed while managing such patients. Establishing unobstructed airway remains the top priority while maintaining C-spine immobilization and preventing aspiration. Although multiple options exist for securing the airway, a universal technique of airway management may not be applicable to all the patients. Hence, a high index of suspicion along with timely and skillful management is warranted. In this brief review, issues affecting the airway management in cases of maxillofacial trauma are addressed with the possible uses of a wide range of airway management devices available in emergency and elective scenarios.
