The Use of McGrath MAC Video Laryngoscope Versus McCoy Laryngoscope in Adults with Anticipated Difficult Airway Undergoing Elective Surgery.

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: Difficult airway management remains one of the most challenging clinical situations encountered by anaesthetists. Aim: The study compared the effectiveness of the McGrath MAC video laryngoscope to the McCoy Materials and Methods: Following the institution's ethical approval, the randomised controlled trial was conducted involving 74 adults with American Society of anaesthesiologists' physical status (ASA) grading of I-III scheduled for elective surgery. The Patients were randomised into either group MVL (McGrath MAC) or group MCC (McCoy) and intubated after preoxygenation with 100% oxygen and administration of IV propofol and suxamethonium. The Intubation Difficulty Score (IDS), success rate of intubation, time to intubation, number of optimising manoeuvres and complications was assessed. Statistical analysis was performed using the statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24.0 computer software (IBM SPSS Statistics, IBM Corp. NY, United States). Numerical and categorical data were compared using the student's Results: Lower IDS scores were noted in the McGrath group; 54.1% vs. 5.4% of patients had IDS score of 0 in the McGrath and McCoy groups respectively, ( Conclusion: Lower IDS scores and improved intubation success rate was achieved with the McGrath compared with the McCoy laryngoscope in patients with predicted difficult airway. The McGrath has proved to be useful in managing patients with difficult airway.
