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

Gaining and maintaining proficiency at endotracheal intubation is challenging. Recent clinical trials suggest videolaryngoscopy is beneficial for teaching inexperienced clinicians to intubate newborn infants, but may take longer compared to standard laryngoscopy. Preferences for devices among clinicians are unclear. Simulation studies using manikins have shown that use of videolaryngoscopes (VLs) likely improves intubation outcomes, at least in the short term. This study is the first to compare different VLs and SL as they are designed in clinicians with varying levels of experience in term and preterm manikins. This setup more closely mimics real-life clinical practice in comparison to trials exclusively of novices or using VL devices to intubate directly. Our study is relevant to members of the perinatal and neonatal clinical care team and related to using technology to improve neonatal outcomes. It is of particular importance in the current environment of reduced opportunities to learn and maintain neonatal intubation skills due to changes in neonatal practice and clinical care.
