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

backgroundEmergency endotracheal intubation is a high-risk procedure in patients who are critically ill and associated with complications such as hypoxia, hemodynamic instability, and airway trauma. The intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA) and video laryngoscope (VL) are alternative devices to conventional direct laryngoscopy, but their comparative efficacy in emergency settings remains understudied.

aimTo compare the first-attempt success rate, intubation time, hemodynamic response, and complications between ILMA and VL in emergency intubations.

methodsA prospective randomized study was conducted on 64 patients who were critically ill and requiring emergency intubation. Patients were divided into the VL (

resultsThe VL group had a significantly higher first-attempt success rate (87.5%

conclusionVL is superior to ILMA for emergency intubation, offering higher first-pass success, faster intubation, and fewer complications. VL should be prioritized in critical care settings.
