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

The jaw thrust maneuver is a fundamental airway management tool to prevent the tongue from obstructing the upper airway in unconscious patients. Known complications of the jaw thrust maneuver include spinal cord injury if the cervical spine is unstable and exacerbation of an existing mandibular injury. However, this procedure is frequently associated with pain, and the associated consequences, especially the parasympathetic response, are rarely seen or discussed. We report a rare complication of a 38-year-old healthy female emerging from general anesthesia who developed transient but severe bradycardia leading to asystole following a jaw thrust maneuver. We conclude that the bradycardia and asystole resulted from the vagal response to the pain induced by the jaw thrust.
