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

objectivesTo measure the pressure exerted on the base of the tongue during endotracheal intubation using a standard pediatric model.

methodsThe study was conducted in October-November 2022 at Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation, Ankara, Turkey. Anesthesiology residents performed intubations with Glidescope

resultsA total of 156 intubations were performed by 52 residents. The force exerted with the Storz

conclusionVideolaryngoscopy improved glottic view even in the same manikin as compared to direct laryngoscopy. Significantly lower forces were measured with the C-MAC-D-blade as compared to the other blades. Further studies on real patients are required to determine what amount of force exerted on the oropharyngeal tissue is clinically meaningful and thus avoid complications.
