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 and Objectives: Airway management is crucial for emergency care in critically ill patients outside the hospital setting. An Airway Registry is useful in providing essential information for quality improvement purposes. Therefore, this study aimed to develop an out-of-hospital airway registry and describe airway management practices in Aotearoa New Zealand (AoNZ). Methods: Data from the Aotearoa New Zealand Paramedic Care Collection (ANZPaCC) database were used in a retrospective cohort study covering July 2020 to June 2021. All patients receiving airway interventions were included. An airway intervention was defined as one or more of the following: non-drug assisted endotracheal intubation (NDA-ETI), drug-assisted endotracheal intubation (DA-ETI; where a combination of paralytic agent and sedative were used to aid in intubation), laryngeal mask airway (LMA), oropharyngeal airway (OPA), nasopharyngeal airway (NPA), surgical airway (cricothyroidotomy), suction, jaw thrust. Descriptive statistics were analysed using Chi-Square and logistic regression modelling investigated the relationship between advanced airway success and patient characteristics. Results: The study included 4,529 patients who underwent 7,779 airway interventions. Basic airway interventions were used most frequently: OPA (45.1%), NPA (29.3%), LMA (28.9%), suction (19.9%) and jaw thrust (17.6%). Advanced airway interventions were used less frequently: NDA-ETI (19.8%), DA-ETI (8.7%), and surgical airways (0.2%). The success rate for ETI (including both NDA-ETI and DA-ETI) was 89.4%, with NDA-ETI success at 85.8% and DA-ETI success at 97.7%. ETI first-pass success rates were significantly lower for males (aOR 0.65, 95%CI 0.48-0.87, Conclusions: Out-of-hospital airway management practices and success rates in AoNZ are comparable to those elsewhere. This research has determined the variables to be used as the AoNZ Paramedic Airway Registry ongoing and has demonstrated baseline outcomes in airway management for ongoing quality improvement using this registry.
