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

Supraglottic masses can be an anaesthesiologist's nightmare due to the difficult airway scenario and bleeding risk during airway manipulation. Awake fibreoptic intubation is the primary method to secure the airway in such cases. However, most practising anaesthesiologists are not experts at handling the fibreoptic scope, especially in cases with a floppy supraglottic mass where it becomes difficult to displace the mask with the thin flexible bronchoscope. A hybrid technique of intubation in supraglottic masses using Bonfils rigid scope and C-MAC is often described but frequently not available. Here we describe a case of an elderly patient in their 80s presenting with a floppy supraglottic mass where an awake fibreoptic bronchoscope failed to secure the airway. Without access to a rigid Bonfils scope, we intuitively used a C-MAC to visualize the larynx and a yankauer suction catheter to displace the mass and perform a bougie-guided endotracheal intubation.
