Cuff Inflation Technique During Fiberoptic Nasal Intubation in Patients With Limited Mouth Opening.
Article in Anesthesia progress, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Airway management is critical, particularly in patients who undergo oral maxillofacial surgery, and often involves use of nasotracheal intubation which can be difficult. We previously described a technique involving use of a flexible fiberoptic scope to provide continuous indirect vision of the endotracheal tube (ETT) tip and the glottis to assist with successful advancement of the ETT during nasotracheal intubation. Nevertheless, we often have experienced difficulties during intubation using this method as spatial manipulation and direction of the nasal ETT into the trachea may occasionally be difficult. In such cases, combining visualization with the flexible fiberoptic scope along with the cuff inflation technique may be useful to aid manipulation of the ETT, unlike the technique previously combined with a video laryngoscope. We describe this clinical technique which may be used during fiberoptic nasal intubations to help increase success securing the airway.
