Subglottic jet ventilation versus supraglottic jet ventilation for flexible bronchoscopy: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC anesthesiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundJet ventilation technique can be used to supply oxygen to prevent hypoxia for patients undergoing flexible bronchoscopy. An optimal access route for jet ventilation technique during flexible bronchoscopy has not been determined. Our aim was to compare the effectiveness and safety of subglottic jet ventilation via a new introducer (Safe Easy Endotracheal Kit-flexible, SEEK
methodsThis was a single-center randomized controlled trial. 352 patients scheduled to undergo flexible bronchoscopy under moderate-to-deep sedation were randomly assigned to the following two groups: the subglottic jet ventilation group, and the supraglottic jet ventilation group. The primary outcome was hypoxia during flexible bronchoscopy.
resultsSubglottic jet ventilation decreased the incidence of hypoxia from 16.6% to 6.0% compared with supraglottic jet ventilation [relative risk (RR) for hypoxia, 0.364, 95% CI 0.18 to 0.72; P 0.002]. The incidence of severe hypoxia was also significantly diminished in the subglottic jet ventilation group compared with the supraglottic jet ventilation group (3% vs. 8.6%; RR 0.351, 95% CI 0.12 to 0.95; P 0.030). The subglottic jet ventilation group needed significantly less jaw thrust (4.8% vs. 12.9%; RR 0.374, 95% CI 0.17 to 0.82; P 0.010), and mask ventilation (2.4% vs. 7.4%; RR 0.327, 95% CI 0.10 to 0.99; P 0.037). No gastric insufflation occurred in the subglottic jet ventilation group, 31 instances occurred in the supraglottic jet ventilation group (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of other adverse events including xerostomia, pharyngalgia, nasal bleeding.
conclusionsSubglottic jet ventilation more effectively reduces the incidence of hypoxia in patients undergoing flexible bronchoscopy under moderate-to-deep sedation when compared with supraglottic jet ventilation. Subglottic jet ventilation via the SEEK
