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

backgroundFibreoptic bronchoscope (FOB) is considered complex to learn and operate, and it remains controversial whether videolaryngoscopy can be used as an alternative to FOB for awake tracheal intubation (ATI).

aimsThe Objective is to compare the effectiveness of Safe Easy Endotracheal kit-flexible (SEEK

methodsWe conducted a pragmatic, multicentre, non-blinded, randomized, parallel-group clinical trial in Shanghai and Putian, China. Between January 2023 and June 2024, patients aged 18-80 years who required ATI and were able to adapt to videolaryngoscopy were enrolled. We randomly assigned 148 patients who received ATI to two groups in a 1:1 ratio: SEEK

resultsSuccessful intubation at the first attempt was achieved in 69 cases (93%) using SEEK
