Asystole during laryngoscopy with a videolaryngoscope in a patient with an anticipated difficult airway: A case report.
Article in Saudi journal of anaesthesia. 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
Asystole during tracheal intubation using a direct laryngoscope has been reported, but there has been no report of asystole during tracheal intubation using a videolaryngoscope. We report a case of asystole during videolaryngoscopy in a 76-year-old woman with marked tracheal deviation caused by a large thyroid adenoma. General anesthesia was induced with remimazolam 6 mg/kg/h, fentanyl 0.1 mg, and remifentanil 0.25 μg/kg/min, under apneic oxygenation using high-flow nasal oxygenation. After administration of rocuronium 40 mg, a McGrath™ MAC videolaryngoscope provided an excellent glottic view. Immediately before tracheal tube insertion, sudden bradycardia progressed to asystole. Laryngoscopy was discontinued, and intravenous atropine 0.5 mg was administered, resulting in the return of spontaneous cardiac activity within 10 s without chest compressions. The patient's vital signs remained stable after the event, and tracheal intubation was achieved without further complications. Anesthesiologists should remain vigilant for this rare but potentially life-threatening complication.
