Educational Intervention Can Improve the Pilot Balloon Palpation Method of Tracheal Tube Cuff Pressure Monitoring: An Experimental Study.
Article in Journal of the West African College of Surgeons. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07341646 (The Effect of Endotracheal Tube Cuff Pressure Assessment Methods on Postoperative Complications in Patients Undergoing Elective Breast Surgery), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Background: Considerable morbidity is attributable to inappropriate tracheal cuff pressure. An earlier study undertaken in our hospital revealed that a normal cuff pressure of 20-30 cm H Objective: To determine whether a training intervention could improve the accuracy of the subjective estimation method in our tracheal cuff monitoring. Materials and Methods: A 1-day training session was conducted in April 2022 for our anaesthesia providers. The cuffs of different sizes of endotracheal tubes were inflated to 25 cm H Results: The mean tracheal cuff pressure was improved post-intervention (49.2 ± 24.1 cm H Conclusion: The educational intervention improved the safety of tracheal cuff management, which could positively impact airway management, especially in poor resource settings without cuff manometers.
