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.
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
introductionCentral airway stenosis is a life-threating requiring immediate medical intervention. There are several options for treating central airway stenosis, including rigid bronchoscopy, bronchoscopic high-power laser therapy, high-frequency electric needle knife, and balloon-expanding stents. However, interventional techniques may be unavailable in an emergent situation or at smaller local hospitals. In this case report, we publicly demonstrate for the first time that a tracheal intubation catheter may be applied as a temporary alternative to interventional bronchoscopic treatment. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 72-year old male patient was admitted with a 1-year history of intermittent dyspnea, which was exacerbated for one day. One day prior to admission to our hospital, the patient presented with cyanosis due to an exacerbation of dyspnea.A tracheotomy was performed and the patient had been carrying a tracheotomy cannula for 6 months. DIAGNOSIS: The ventilator alarm indicated high airway resistance and the nurses were unable to insert the suction pipes into the airway. Immediate fiberoptic bronchoscopy showed diffuse edema and stenosis of the inferior tracheal airways.
interventionsTracheal intubation was used to temporarily replace the tracheotomy cannula, which successfully expanded the narrowed airways. OUTCOMES: The blood oxygen saturation returned to normal, and dyspnea was quickly relieved.
conclusionIn emergent situations, tracheal intubation catheters may be used in patients with post-tracheotomy central airway stenosis, not only for surviving the most dangerous phase but for also prolonging the survival time for further treatments.
