Assembling a Difficult Airway Cart/Kit, declaring "Code D", and issuing an Airway Alert Card for unanticipated difficult airway management proposed by the All India Difficult Airway Association.
Article in Indian journal of anaesthesia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
The All India Difficult Airway Association (AIDAA) guidelines provide a structured framework to ensure safe and effective airway management, with a key emphasis on preparation, timely assistance, and proper documentation. To support these essential elements, AIDAA has introduced a standardised Difficult Airway Cart (DAC), the declaration of "Code D" for summoning trained help, and a dedicated Difficult Airway Alert document for difficult airway management scenarios. Recognising that airway management extends beyond operating theatres, the proposed DAC also suggests a minimal but essential "carry kit." Timely, specific, and reasoned calls for help are encouraged through "Code D" to ensure appropriate personnel respond promptly. Post-event documentation is considered essential, not only for institutional records but also for providing an alert document for future reference. AIDAA's updated recommendations integrate these elements-DAC, Code D, and structured documentation-to improve safety, preparedness, and successful airway management.
