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

The tracheal cartilaginous sleeve (TCS) is a rare, difficult to diagnose airway malformation in which segmented tracheal rings are replaced by a solid sheath of cartilage. TCS is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with syndromic craniosynostosis, and early diagnosis is essential. We report a case in which ultrasound (US) was used to diagnose TCS in a patient with Pfeiffer syndrome. This is the first case demonstrating the use of US as the initial tool to diagnose TCS. The case supports ongoing research investigating the use of US as a screening and diagnostic imaging modality for TCS.
