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

Background: Videolaryngoscopes (VLS) frequently provide superior views of the glottis compared with traditional direct laryngoscopy (DL), especially during unexpected difficult airways. Chest compressions during attempts to intubate the trachea make it a difficult situation. Although VLS have been compared with DL for intubation during resuscitation, there is a paucity of literature comparing VLS with integrated screen and distant screen with DL during continued manual chest compressions. Materials and methods: This was a prospective, randomized, crossover observational manikin study. A total of 20 participants performed intubation, while manual chest compression was continuing, with each of the three devices on six occasions, but in different, randomized order. The primary outcome parameter was the total time taken for successful intubation. The secondary outcome criteria included the number of attempts, ease of intubation, and the device preference. Results: Time taken for successful intubation and ease of intubation were significantly better with C-MAC VLS and DL as compared with Tuoren VLS (C-Mac vs Tuoren Conclusion: C-MAC VLS and Macintosh DL are significantly easier to use and require significantly less time to achieve successful intubation as compared with the Tuoren VLS during continued manual chest compression. Among the devices tested, C-MAC VLS was the most preferred for endotracheal intubation during uninterrupted manual chest compressions. How to cite this article: Kumar R, Kumar R, Kumar N.
