Utility of the Awake Video Laryngoscopy Assisted Fibreoptic Intubation Technique in Maxillofacial Gunshot Injury - A Case Report.
Article in Annals of maxillofacial surgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
Rationale: Maxillofacial gunshot injury leads to significant soft tissue and bone defects, which compromise airway patency, thus posing a challenge for the anaesthesiologist. The utility of the videolaryngoscopy-assisted fibreoptic intubation (VAFI) technique in maxillofacial gunshot injury has not yet been described in the literature. Patient Concerns: We report the case of a young male presenting with extensive maxillofacial wounds with fractures of the bilateral maxilla, mandible and floor of orbit secondary to self-inflicted gunshot injury. Diagnosis: Major peri-operative concerns included anticipated difficult airway, control of potential haemorrhage and airway oedema. Treatment: A flexible fibreoptic bronchoscope used in combination with a video laryngoscope was used to successfully secure the airway. Outcome: He was extubated on the same day and discharged after two weeks. Take-Away Lessons: The current case highlights the safe and effective use of the videolaryngoscopy-assisted fibreoptic intubation technique in maxillofacial gunshot injury.
