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

aimAdvanced airway management for preterm infants is limited. Supraglottic airway devices may provide an alternative when face-mask ventilation fails or intubation is not feasible. Preterm-sized devices are now accessible. This study aimed to evaluate ventilation outcomes in manikins to determine whether progression to clinical testing is warranted.

methodsThis observational manikin study included healthcare workers at Sachs Children and Youth Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden, in March 2022. Insertion time, success rates, mask leakage, ventilatory rate, tidal volumes, and airway pressures were assessed using three manikins (2200, 950, 500 g) with one commercially available device (i-gel size 1) and three prototype sizes (neo-i-gel 0.85, 0.75, 0.65). Mask leakage was categorised as good (< 25%), acceptable (25%-49%), or unacceptable (≥ 50%). Participant satisfaction was recorded using a Likert scale.

resultsAcross 243 sessions conducted by nine physicians and 18 nurses, optimal device sizes were 0.85 for the 2200 g and 950 g manikins, and 0.75 for the 500 g manikin, based on mask leakage and tidal volume performance. High insertion success and consistent ventilatory rates were found. Participant satisfaction was positive.

conclusionPreterm-sized supraglottic airway devices appeared feasible for simulated neonatal resuscitation. Further clinical studies are urgently needed to validate their safety and effectiveness in clinical practice.
