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.

Abstract

backgroundTracheal intubation is a core skill in airway management for anesthesiologists as well as for other medical professionals involved in advanced airway procedures. Traditionally, tracheal intubation in hospitals has been performed using a Macintosh blade for direct laryngoscopy (DL). However, recent literature increasingly supports the potential benefits of routine video laryngoscopy (VL). The aim of this study was to assess whether primary training in hyperangulated VL improves the first-pass success rate of tracheal intubation among first-year anesthesiology residents, compared to conventional DL training, in the operating room.

methodsThe JuniorDoc-VL Trial is a randomized, controlled, patient-blinded clinical trial of novice anesthesiology residents trained in DL and VL. Thirty residents will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group (VL group) or the control group (DL group) with a 1:1 allocation. The first-pass-success (FPS) rates (primary endpoint) and complication rates (secondary endpoint) will be compared between groups. DISCUSSION: We hypothesize that the primary use of hyperangulated video laryngoscopy (VL) in the experimental group will increase first-pass-success rates among inexperienced residents and reduce complication rates associated with advanced airway management in a mixed patient population. This study may provide an opportunity to develop strategies that allow physicians not routinely involved in anesthesia to effectively learn and maintain their skills in tracheal intubation.
