1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The technique of ultrasound-guided retrograde intubation is a less invasive procedure for airway management especially in an emergency situation with massive bleeding. This article describes a case of postoperative neck bleeding into the pharynx and neck leading to significant anatomical impairment combined with laryngeal obstruction that was successfully managed using this technique in a modified way. Anatomically non-palpable from a superficial approach, conventional cricotomy and awake tracheotomy were not possible and attempts of fiber optic intubation failed; therefore, ultrasound-guided tracheal puncture was used to advance a conventional central line guidewire towards and out of the mouth and to install orotracheal intubation via a Cook airway catheter cut in half which was advanced over the wire. All airway material remained in place in order to secure the airway until permanent tracheostomy was established along the wire entrance. Sufficient ventilation was possible with the Cook catheter and wire still in the tube. No hypoxic episodes occurred and the patient achieved full recovery.
