Ease of intubation using oral Microcuff RAE (Ring-Adair-Elwyn) tube with and without premounted Frova intubating introducer in children undergoing cleft lip and palate surgeries - A randomised controlled study.

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 and Aims: Ring-Adair-Elwyn (RAE) tracheal tube is morphologically different from the routine endotracheal tubes. Unlike conventional endotracheal tubes, the passage of the RAE tube through the laryngopharynx and vocal cords might be challenging. We hypothesised that an oral RAE endotracheal tube railroaded over the Frova intubating introducer would reduce intubation time. Methods: Eighty children with cleft lip and palate anomalies without additional difficult airway predictors were enroled. They were randomly assigned to two groups: Group Frova ( Results: The mean age (months) was 21 [standard deviation (SD): 14.2] in Group Frova and 20.7 (SD: 13.5) in Group Non-Frova. The mean intubation time (sec) was not different between Group Frova and Group Non-Frova [39.15 (SD: 15.39) (95% confidence interval {CI}: 31.3, 47.0) vs. 35.76 (SD: 15.29) (95% CI: 27.9, 43.6); mean difference = 3.39 (95% CI: -3.6, 10.41); Conclusion: Frova introducer-guided endotracheal intubation with an oral RAE tube does not decrease intubation time in children undergoing cleft lip and palate surgery.
