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

backgroundSelf-expandable metallic Y-shaped airway stents (SEMYS) are commonly used in the management of airway stenosis and fistulae caused by thoracic neoplasms.

methodsA new technique using a slightly modified regular endotracheal tube has been developed for the deployment of SEMYS with flexible bronchoscopy alone. The technique and devices are described.

resultsTo date, successful deployment of SEMYS with this method has been carried out successfully in 17 out of 20 patients without major complications while the other 3 required conversion to rigid bronchoscopy because of limited pharyngeal cavity space, massive hemorrhage and severe cicatrization of the airway, respectively.

conclusionsThis simplified deployment technique with the modified endotracheal tube enables safe, simple and fast insertion of SEMYS in a regular bronchoscopy suite, which may benefit the vast less privileged institutions where SEMYS are necessary but rigid bronchoscopy and fluoroscopy are not available. The skill of the bronchoscopist, cautious selection of patients and effective coordination of the operating team are crucial for the procedure.
