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

backgroundTo verify a test prototype of a novel flexible video laryngoscope in a difficult airway management simulator and to compare the efficacy of the flexible video laryngoscope with that of a conventional video laryngoscope.

methodsFifteen clinical anesthesiologists performed endotracheal intubation with a flexible video laryngoscope and a conventional video laryngoscope in a difficult airway management simulator in the neutral position with intermediate and difficult mouth opening. The rate of intubation success, intubation time, and classification of glottic exposure were recorded. After endotracheal intubation, participants were asked to assess the difficulty of intubation of the two laryngoscopes.

resultsThe success rate of endotracheal intubation with flexible video laryngoscope was significantly higher than that with video laryngoscope in neutral positions with both intermediate (P = 0.025) and difficult (P = 0.005) mouth opening. The Cormack Lehane score of the flexible video laryngoscope was significantly lower than that of the video laryngoscope in the neutral position with intermediate mouth opening (P < 0.001) and difficult mouth opening (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in intubation time in the neutral position with intermediate mouth opening (P = 0.460) or difficult mouth opening (P = 0.078). The difficulty score of endotracheal intubations with the flexible video laryngoscope was also significantly lower than that of the video laryngoscope in the neutral position with intermediate mouth opening (P = 0.001) and difficult mouth opening (P = 0.001).

conclusionsCompared with conventional video laryngoscopy, flexible video laryngoscopy can provide superior glottic exposure and improve the success rate of intubation in a difficult airway management simulator.
