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
Background: The primary aim of our study was to determine the frequency of video laryngoscopy (VL) use on the first intubation attempt for patients who underwent appendectomy for acute appendicitis at our hospital. Methods: Patients who had an appendectomy for the indication of acute appendicitis at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Temple between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2023, were included in our study. Study investigators extracted demographic, physical, and clinical data from our electronic medical record. Results: A total of 533 and 70 patients had direct laryngoscopy (DL) and VL for their first intubation attempts, respectively. Among these, 518 (97.2%) and 53 (75.7%) performed with DL and VL, respectively, were successful on the first attempt ( Conclusion: Approximately 12% of our patients who underwent appendectomy for acute appendicitis had VL on the first intubation attempt, and these patients were more complex than those who had DL.
