Confirmation of successful supraglottic airway device placement in neonates using a respiratory function monitor.
Article in Pediatric research, 2025. 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
backgroundThis study investigated the use of a respiratory function monitor (RFM) to guide the placement of a supraglottic airway device (SAD) in neonates during intensive care interventions. We hypothesized that using a RFM would decrease the number of attempts needed for a successful placement.
methodsThis single-center pilot study was carried out at a tertiary NICU at the Medical University of Vienna. Patients were ventilated using a SAD during neurosurgical or endoscopic interventions. A RFM was either hidden (but recording) or visible to providers during SAD placement. Feedback from the RFM was used to assess correct/incorrect placement and optimize ventilation quality. The parameter leakage was used for assessment: if leak was <30%, correct placement was assumed. The primary outcome was the number of attempts until correct placement. Secondary outcomes included ventilation parameters recorded by the RFM and the duration of SAD placement.
resultsSix patients were included in this pilot trial. Using a RFM to guide SAD placement led to fewer attempts (median attempts: 3 [hidden] vs. 1 [visible]). Furthermore, using the RFM, necessary adaptations were made to the SAD position to decrease leakage (mean leakage: 74.8% [hidden] vs. 17.8% [visible]), subsequently endoscopy after insertion of SAD using the RFM then confirmed anatomically correct position.
conclusionThis pilot study indicated that a RFM might be useful to provide guidance during SAD placement. IMPACT STATEMENT: Feedback from a RFM reliably indicated correct anatomical placement of a SAD by correlating low leakage values with proper SAD positioning. RFM guidance could improve neonatal airway management, reducing procedural time and number of attempts. We present promising preliminary results. Further research is needed to confirm these findings.
