Ungraded means an effect was reported without a GRADE rating; it is not a gap. No studies means the review found nothing to answer the question. The six categories are a display order, not a score.

|---|---|---|---|
Time required for successful intubation Videolaryngoscopy vs conventional direct laryngoscopy | no estimate extracted | NR | Low Downgraded: risk of bias, inconsistency |
