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

backgroundA "cannot intubate, cannot oxygenate (CICO)" situation is a life-threatening condition that requires emergent management to establish a route for oxygenation to prevent oxygen desaturation. In this paper, we describe airway management in a patient with an extended parotid tumor that invaded the airways during CICO using the endotracheal tube tip in the pharynx (TTIP) technique. CASE SUMMARY: A 43-year-old man was diagnosed with parotid tumor for > 10 years. Computed tomography and nasopharyngeal fiberoptic examination revealed a substantial mass from the right parotid region with a deep extension through the lateral pharyngeal region to the retropharyngeal region and obliteration of the nasopharynx to the oropharynx. Tumor excision was arranged. However, we encountered CICO during anesthesia induction. An endotracheal tube was used as an emergency supraglottic airway device (TTIP) to ventilate the patient in a CICO situation where other tools such as laryngeal mask airway or mask ventilation were not suitable for this complicated and difficult airway. The patient did not experience desaturation despite sudden loss of definite airway. During tracheostomy, the pulse oximetry remained 100% with our technique of ventilating the patient. The arterial blood gas analysis revealed PaCO

conclusionUsing an endotracheal tube as a supraglottic airway device, patients may have increased survival without experiencing life-threatening desaturation.
