Impact of anesthesia training on knowledge and practice of rapid sequence intubation among emergency physicians: a survey study.
Article in International journal of emergency medicine, 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
backgroundRapid sequence intubation is a critical procedure in emergency medicine designed to secure the airway promptly while minimizing the risk of aspiration. However, the level of knowledge regarding rapid sequence intubation and its associated medications varies among physicians.
methodsA practice-based survey was conducted across emergency departments in French-speaking Belgium. Physicians with and without anesthesia training were compared with respect to knowledge of rapid sequence intubation, clinical practice patterns, and pharmacologic understanding. Self-reported data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Student's t-test, and Fisher's exact test.
resultsA total of 101 complete responses were analyzed. Succinylcholine was the primary neuromuscular blocking agent used. Nevertheless, its contraindications and adverse effects were poorly understood. Anesthesia training was associated with broader self-reported pharmacologic knowledge, greater familiarity with rapid sequence intubation principles, and with alternatives such as rocuronium and sugammadex.
conclusionAnesthesia exposure may contribute to improve emergency physicians' understanding and safe application of rapid sequence intubation. Anesthesia rotations might be beneficial in promoting more standardized and improved clinical practice.
