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

We present a case series using a hybrid technique of video laryngoscope-assisted flexible bronchoscopy to facilitate endotracheal intubation in children with anticipated difficult airway. This series describes the management of difficult airways in four paediatric cases using the hybrid technique: two cases of Apert syndrome scheduled for cranial remodelling with orbito-facial advancement, one case of an incomplete cleft palate and retrognathia scheduled for palatoplasty, and another case of Parry Romberg syndrome scheduled for a reconstructive procedure. This case series aims to highlight the value of the hybrid technique as a safe and effective intubation modality in paediatric difficult airways.
