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

Cricothyrotomy represents the final approach to secure the airway, in the course of which less invasive measures have failed. It can also primarily be carried out to establish a secure airway. This is essential to protect the patient from a significant hypoxia. This is a cannot ventilate-cannot oxygenate (CVCO) situation, which presumably all colleagues in emergency intensive care medicine and anesthesia have already been confronted with. Evidence-based algorithms for the management of a difficult airway and CVCO have been established. If oxygenation using an endotracheal tube, an extraglottic airway device or bag-valve mask ventilation all fail, the airway must be surgically secured, i.e. using cricothyrotomy. The prevalence of the CVCO situation in a prehospital setting is ca. 1%. No valid prospective randomized in vivo studies have been carried with respect to the question of the best method.
