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

rationaleMassive mediastinal tumors present a major challenge for surgery and anesthesia management due to possible perioperative circulation and respiratory dysfunction. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 36-year-old female underwent difficulty with tracheal extubation and required mechanical ventilation for 3 months after resection of a massive mediastinal tumor. DIAGNOSES: Postoperative B-ultrasound examination of diaphragmatic motor weakness and electrophysiological examination indicated respiratory failure due to phrenic nerve injury.

interventionsThe patient failed tracheal extubation several times after the operation and finally a tracheotomy was performed. Mechanical ventilation, anti-infective treatment, and systemic supportive treatment were provided. OUTCOMES: The patient recovered well after tracheotomy and approximately 3 months of ventilation support. LESSONS: Weaning difficulty caused by phrenic nerve injury seriously affected patient postoperative rehabilitation. To reduce the occurrence of similar problems, intraoperative phrenic nerve electrophysiological monitoring should be conducted.
