A study to evaluate the role of experience in acquisition of the skill of orotracheal intubation in adults.
Article 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 6 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
aimsTo evaluate the role of experience in acquisition of skill of orotracheal intubation in adults. MATERIAL AND
methodsA prospective randomized study was conducted on 307 patients of either sex, belonging to ASA grade I and II (aged 18-60 years) posted for surgery under general anaesthesia. The patients were subjected to DL and ETI procedure, which was performed by five different groups of participants. Group 1 consisted of first-year resident of anaesthesiology with experience of less than 10 intubations, group 2 for second-year resident, group 3 for third-year resident, group 4 for senior resident and group 5 for consultant. Ease of mask ventilation, time taken for intubation, number of attempts, success rate, and ease of intubation were assessed for all the groups.
resultsCategorical variables were analysed using Chi-square test. For all statistical tests, a
conclusionSkill of mask ventilation and intubation and time taken for intubation grossly improves with increasing experience. Minimum of 25 intubation attempts should be required by an anaesthesiologist resident in elective scenario to achieve 100% success rate in our study.
