Evaluation of a New Portable High-Definition Video Laryngoscope (Tuoren VLHM5A) for Tracheal Intubation in Adults: Technical Report and Service Assessment.
Article in Cureus, 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
Videolaryngoscopy (VL) is increasingly recommended as the primary technique for tracheal intubation, supported by major international guidelines, which endorse VL for routine use to provide improved glottic visualization, higher first attempt success, and reduced complications, including failed intubation and airway trauma. However, despite these advantages, VL adoption remains low due to higher cost, variations in devices, training limitations, and restricted availability. This technical report summarizes early institutional experience with the Tuoren VLHM5A - a new portable, high-definition (HD) VL system - used in 50 elective surgical patients. The device demonstrated excellent visualization, rapid intubation, and 100% first-attempt success in both "normal" and "predicted difficult" airways when used by experienced anesthesiologists in this preliminary experience. However, these findings should be interpreted with caution given the limited sample size and the absence of a comparator device. If confirmed in larger studies, portable HD VL systems may help address some of the barriers to wider VL adoption and support guideline-based airway management.
