A study to evaluate nasotracheal intubation using Airtraq laryngoscope with a bougie and without a bougie.
Article in Indian journal of anaesthesia, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07353255 (Flexible Fibrescope Versus Video Laryngoscope for Nasotracheal Intubation - A Randomised Comparison), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 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.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Airtraq has been found to be useful in improving the view of the glottis. However, directing the tube tip into the glottis can be challenging during nasotracheal intubation. This problem gets resolved if the bougie is placed first. The present study was conducted for the evaluation of nasotracheal intubation using a nasal Airtraq laryngoscope with and without a bougie. Methods: Fifty patients of either gender, aged between 18 and 60 years, who belonged to the American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status (PS) I or II, requiring nasotracheal intubation were included. In group I (number ( Results: The mean (± standard deviation) for time for intubation in group I was 59.24 ± 9.98 s and that in group II was 41.00 ± 4.23 s ( Conclusion: The time taken for nasotracheal intubation using an Airtraq laryngoscope was more with the use of a bougie as compared to the non-bougie technique. However, bougie-guided intubation was easier with less requirement of additional manoeuvres. In addition, trauma was also significantly less with the bougie technique.
