Evaluation of thyromental height test in prediction of difficult airway in obese surgical patients: An observational study.
Article in Indian journal of anaesthesia, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsThyromental height test (TMHT) has revealed good potentials for predicting difficult laryngoscopy view (DLV) in non-obese patients, but its accuracy in obese patients is not evident. This study aimed to assess the validity of TMHT as a predictor of DLV in obese surgical patients.
methods105 patients, aged 18-60 years, with body mass index (BMI) >30 kg/m
resultsThe BMI was 43.7 ± 6.6 kg/m
conclusionIn obese surgical patients, TMHT is an excellent predictor of DLV when the cut-off value is <47 mm.
