Low-flow oxygen delivery using a nasal cannula for apnoeic oxygenation in children undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia: A randomised controlled trial.
Article in European journal of anaesthesiology and intensive care, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundChildren have a smaller functional residual capacity and higher rate of oxygen consumption making them prone to develop hypoxaemia during a period of apnoea. The effectiveness of apnoeic oxygenation in preventing oxygen desaturation during laryngoscopy and intubation in small children has not been well studied.
objectiveTo assess the effectiveness of apnoeic oxygenation using a nasal cannula in preventing oxygen desaturation during laryngoscopy and intubation in children.
designProspective randomised double-blind controlled trial.
settingTertiary care teaching hospital between January 2020 and September 2021. PATIENTS: One hundred and twenty children of 1 to 6 years age undergoing elective surgery requiring general anaesthesia with endotracheal intubation.
interventionPatients were randomly allocated to receive 3 l min
main outcome measuresThe primary outcome was the lowest value of peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO
resultsThe mean ± SD of lowest SpO
conclusionApnoeic oxygenation using a nasal cannula was effective in preventing oxygen desaturation during laryngoscopy and intubation in children as compared with those who did not receive apnoeic oxygenation.
