Comparison of the standard McCoy laryngoscope and video-assisted McCoy laryngoscope for laryngoscopy and intubation in patients with simulated difficult airway.
Article in Indian journal of anaesthesia, 2026. 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
Background and Aims: Video laryngoscopes provide better visualisation of glottis and easier tracheal intubation as compared to the McCoy laryngoscope. However, cost constraints limit their use. The video-assisted McCoy laryngoscope provides the advantage of both, the McCoy laryngoscope and standard video laryngoscope and is cost-effective. The present study was conducted to compare the standard McCoy laryngoscope and video-assisted McCoy laryngoscope in patients with simulated difficult airway. Methods: This randomised single-blind crossover study included 60 patients of either gender aged 18 to 65 years. In sequence I ( Results: Significantly better mean POGO scores [65.66 (27.03)% vs 44.50 (31.59), Conclusion: The video-assisted McCoy laryngoscope provided significantly better glottic visualisation in patients with simulated difficult airway.
