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

purposeTreatment strategies and clinical outcomes of subglottic stenosis (SGS) in children are varied due to the degree and range of stenotic lesions. The optimal surgical procedure for SGS in children is still under debate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of our anterior-posterior cricoid (APC) split technique combined with long-term T-tube stenting for grade II or III SGS in children.

methodsA retrospective chart review of children with SGS between January 2011 and December 2016 was conducted. APC split was performed via open procedure under rigid bronchoscopy. After splitting, a silastic T-tube was inserted as a stent and removed 6 months postoperatively.

resultsSeven children underwent APC split during the period. All children had undergone previous tracheostomy, and APC split was performed when the children were 3-9 years old without any intraoperative complications. Median duration of T-tube stenting was 11 months, and all children were decannulated successfully. There were T-tube-related complications, including two tube-tip granulation that required intervention and one accidental T-tube removal.

conclusionAPC split is a technically simple and reproducible procedure, and it could be employed as an optimal procedure for SGS in children.
