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

objectiveTo assess the efficacy and safety of visual rigid laryngoscopy and video laryngoscopy and to provide clinical information for developing a more suitable intubation tool for elderly patients.

methodsIn 75 consecutive elderly patients undergoing elective surgery in a single institution, tracheal intubation was randomly performed by 2 experienced anaesthesiologists using visual rigid laryngoscopy (Group I, n = 38) or video laryngoscopy (Group II, n = 37). The primary outcome was intubation time. Secondary outcomes were the first-attempt success rate of tracheal intubation, haemodynamic responses at 1, 3, and 5 min after intubation and the incidence of postoperative airway complications, including immediate complications and postoperative complaints.

resultsThe intubation times were 35.0 (30.0-41.5) s and 42.5 (38.0-51.3) s in Groups I and II, respectively (P < 0.001). The difference in direct complications between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). In contrast, there was no significant difference between the two groups regarding the follow-up of the main complaint 30 min and 24 h after tracheal extubation (P > 0.05). There was no difference in the intubation success rate between the 2 groups (P > 0.05). The haemodynamic responses at 1, 3, and 5 min after intubation were not significantly different (P > 0.05).

conclusionCompared with that of video laryngoscopy, the intubation time of visual rigid laryngoscopy in elderly patients was shorter. At the same time, visual rigid laryngoscopy reduced the incidence of immediate complications. However, during endotracheal intubation, there was no significant difference in haemodynamics between the two groups. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ChiCTR2100054174.
