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 describe the use of a videolaryngoscope in an unconventional manner, with the provider positioned in front of the patient during intubation. This is called a "face-to-face intubation" technique. During a deep brain stimulation surgery, with the head fixed in a Mayfield frame, the placement of the supraglottic airway was unsuccessful on the induction of general anesthesia due to inadequate formation of a seal. Due to these circumstances, we intubated the patient from the front using the face-to-face intubation technique. We believe that the ability to intubate a patient from the front adds to the anesthesiologist's airway management skills.
