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

In specific clinical scenarios, fiberoptic intubation (FOI) may be the preferred technique for airway management and endotracheal intubation. In addition to topical anesthesia of the airway, sedation is frequently necessary, especially in younger patients, to facilitate the procedure. The goal is to facilitate the procedure by providing sedation, anxiolysis, and analgesia with maintenance of spontaneous ventilation. Remimazolam is a novel benzodiazepine with a short half-life and limited context sensitive half-life that can be titrated by continuous infusion. These novel properties may make it a suitable agent for sedation during FOI of the trachea. We report the novel use of a combination of remimazolam and remifentanil infusions to provide sedation during FOI in an adolescent. The basic pharmacology of remimazolam is presented and previous reports of its use for sedation during FOI are reviewed.
