Effective Use of a Combined Video Laryngoscope and Bronchoscope System in the Emergency Department for a Patient With Severe Upper Airway Obstruction Due to Angioedema: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Management of difficult airways in the emergency department is challenging. Herein, we report a case of successful management of severe upper airway obstruction caused by angioedema, where intubation was achieved using a dual-function video laryngoscope and bronchoscope system in the emergency department for a patient with severe upper airway stenosis due to angioedema. A 74-year-old obese man with dyspnea presented to our emergency department. Despite initial attempts using a conventional intubation technique, the patient's airway remained difficult to manage because of marked enlargement of the tongue. The anesthesiologists decided to apply the dual-function video laryngoscope and bronchoscope system (GlideScope Core System™, Verathon Inc., Bothell, WA, USA). Finally, nasotracheal intubation was successfully performed using a bronchoscope switched from a video laryngoscope. The patient's respiratory status improved post-intubation. Subsequent management proceeded uneventfully. The patient was transferred to the ICU, where he was diagnosed with angioedema after admission.
