1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

As the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, infection with the Omicron variants has become a serious risk to global public health. Anesthesia providers are often called upon for endotracheal intubations for COVID patients. Expedite and safe intubation can save patient's life, while minimizing the virus exposure to the anesthesia provider and personnel involved during airway intervention is very important to protect healthcare workers and conserve the medical work force. In this paper, we share clinical experience of using a video-assisted intubating stylet technique combined with a simple plastic sheet barrier placed over the patients' mouth for tracheal intubation during the Omicron crisis in Taiwan. We demonstrated that the use of an intubating stylet combined with plastic sheet barrier is swift, safe, and accurate in securing the airway in patients with COVID-19.
