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

introductionAirway management is one of the most important interventions performed by paramedics in the prehospital setting. While the standard of care for over 40 years, multiple studies highlight pitfalls associated with prehospital airway management in adults. Considerably less research describes prehospital airway management in children. AREAS COVERED: We searched PubMed for articles from 2000 to present using the keywords 'children,' 'airway management,' 'intubation intratracheal,' 'Emergency Medical Services,' and 'paramedic.' Studies highlight the pitfalls of adult prehospital endotracheal intubation such as tube misplacement and dislodgement, multiple and failed insertion attempts, interruptions in chest compressions, and inadvertent hyperventilation. Multicenter clinical trials including the PART and Airways-2 trials support the use of newer supraglottic airways as potential alternatives to intubation in adults. Only limited data describe prehospital airway management in children, including only one clinical trial performed 25 years ago. EXPERT OPINION: New studies are needed to guide paramedic pediatric airway management practices. The Pediatric Prehospital Airway Resuscitation Trial (Pedi-PART) is an ongoing multicenter clinical trial that will provide critical new knowledge to guide prehospital pediatric airway management practices.
