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

objectiveTo evaluate the stress response during general anesthesia intubation using the Safe Easy Endotracheal Kit-flexible (SEEKflex) with a video laryngoscope.

methodsFrom January to May 2023, 95 patients scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia were randomly assigned to either the traditional tube core group (n = 48) or the SEEKflex-guided group (n = 47). Vital signs and the first intubation success rate were recorded from pre-intubation to 2 minutes post-intubation. The trial was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2200066808).

resultsThe incidence of elevated blood pressure was significantly lower in the SEEKflex-guided group compared to the traditional tube core group (27.66% vs. 56.25%, P<0.05). Although the overall intubation success rate was 100% in both groups, the first intubation success rate was significantly higher in the SEEKflex-guided group (100% vs. 91.67%, P<0.05).

conclusionSEEKflex-guided intubation, compared to the traditional tube core method, resulted in more stable hemodynamic responses and a higher first intubation success rate.
