Airway management in pediatrics: improving safety.
Review in Journal of anesthesia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 in children poses unique challenges due to the different anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology across the pediatric age span. The recently published joint European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care-British Journal of Anaesthesia (ESAIC-BJA) neonatal and infant airway management guidelines provide recommendations and suggestions to support clinicians in deciding the best strategy. These guidelines represent a framework with the most recent and up-to-date evidence, from the initial assessment to the management of normal and difficult airways up to the extubation phase. However, such guidelines have intrinsic limitations due to the lack of supporting evidence in various fields of airway management. Pediatric institutions should adopt guidelines after careful internal review according to the local circumstances, including caseload, equipment and expertise. The current narrative review focused on providing references and practical tips on pediatric airway management, which is still not completely elucidated. Moreover, the authors put particular emphasis on the influence of human factors on the overall success of tracheal intubation, the incidence of complications, and the outcomes for patients.
