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

Airway management and safety remain a difficult challenge during reconstructive surgery in patients with extensive post-burn mentosternal scar contractures. Current guidelines do not recommend the use of direct laryngoscopy for predicted difficult airway because of the risk of intubation failure and airway emergencies: the consequences of wrong decisions can be fatal, and the patient is at serious risk. At present, video-laryngoscopy is the most commonly used technique for routine orotracheal intubation. Awake tracheal intubation with fibro-bronchoscopy also remains a valid option when possible, ensuring the patient's spontaneous breathing during the procedure. However, when videolaryngoscopy is used in combination with this method, the efficiency of these devices can be increased, and a better result can be achieved. We report a case of successful management of a predicted difficult airway with combined video laryngo-bronchoscopy in an awake patient with post-burn neck scar contractures.
