Quantitative analysis of gaze and body movement differences by proficiency in direct and video laryngoscope intubation.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
In the practice of medicine, tracheal intubation is a critical procedure, yet medical education often lacks quantitative instructional methods, relying instead on intuitive guidance from experts. This study used motion capture and eye tracking to analyze differences in movement and gaze between novices and experts during tracheal intubation. It also compared the use of direct and video laryngoscopes. Results showed that with a direct laryngoscope, experts directed their gaze farther than novices during the laryngoscope insertion phase, with a significant difference in eye-to-gaze distance [experts: 0.465 m; novices: 0.325 m; t (12) = 2.690, p = 0.020]. No significant difference was found when a video laryngoscope was used, suggesting that novices could perform expert gaze behavior. Head movement analysis revealed that experts maintained a greater distance from the mannequin’s mouth when using direct laryngoscopes (experts: 0.529 m; novices: 0.331 m). With video laryngoscopes, the gap narrowed (experts: 0.550 m; novices: 0.457 m). A t-test comparing novice head-to-mouth distance between device types showed a significant difference [t (14) = 4.355, p = 0.001]. These findings highlight how video laryngoscopes may help novices approximate expert behavior, offering potential for improved training methods.
