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

Endotracheal tubes (ETTs) are life-supporting devices that are designed to maintain a patent airway in patients who are unable to sustain an airway due to illness or injury. Patients with small airways, such as neonates and pediatrics, have unique structural and functional features, making it essential that ETT design considers and executes on these particular needs. Though uncuffed ETTs have historically been preferred for patients younger than eight years of age, advances in cuffed ETT design and construction can be utilized to manufacture ETTs that are optimized for the smallest, most fragile airways. The purpose of this article is to discuss certain design features of cuffed ETTs in respect to small airways.
