Upper airway obstruction during extubation after general anesthesia, in a patient with Parkinson disease: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
rationaleParkinson disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative condition often suffered by the elderly. Upper airway obstruction, though rare in patients with PD, can be life threatening and is associated with vocal cord paralysis, laryngeal spasm, and dystonia of jaw and neck muscles. PATIENT CONCERNS: We describe a life-threatening upper airway obstruction caused by bilateral vocal cord paralysis, in an elderly man with PD, during extubation after general anesthesia. DIAGNOSES: Based on clinical presentation and visual laryngoscopy, the patient was diagnosed with laryngeal spasm and bilateral vocal cord paralysis after extubation.
interventionsRe-intubation was carried out and dopamine hydrazine tablets were administered via a nasal feeding tube. OUTCOMES: After re-intubation and further treatment, the endotracheal tube was successfully removed and no symptoms of respiratory distress were observed. LESSONS: Patients with PD may be at a risk of life-threatening upper airway obstruction after extubation, which should be prevented systematically.
