Impact of Checklist Implementation on Endotracheal Intubation-Related Complications in Critically Ill Adults-A Retrospective Before and After Study.
Observational study in Acta anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundEndotracheal intubation is a common procedure in the intensive care. However, it is associated with a high incidence of complications, primarily hypotension and hypoxia. Although guidelines advocate the use of checklists for intubation, studies on their effectiveness are limited. The aim was to investigate whether the implementation of a checklist for intubation in an intensive care unit is associated with a reduction in immediate intubation-related complications. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted an observational before and after study, implementing an intubation checklist before the second period. Adult patients intubated between December 2022 and August 2024 at Karolinska University Hospital were included. Data regarding intubations were collected from a quality registry. The primary outcome was a SpO
resultsA total of 97 patients were included. There was no significant difference in the primary outcomes of SpO
conclusionsIn this study on implementing a checklist for intubation of critically ill adults, we could not demonstrate a reduction in immediate intubation-related complications. However, the use of apnoeic oxygenation increased in the checklist period, highlighting the checklist's value as a cognitive aid when preparing for this common yet perilous procedure. EDITORIAL COMMENT: This time interrupted series analysis looked at implementation of a checklist for preparing and planning intubation of ICU patients, where it is recognized that there is risk for respiratory or circulatory adverse events. The findings here from one center showed that implementation of new, detailed checklist-based preparation can affect practice, and that when advanced non-invasive positive pressure ventilatory support is routinely applied, hypoxia can be less frequent then before these were routinely implemented.
