Challenges of tracheostomy in COVID-19 patients in a tertiary centre in inner city London.
Article in International journal of oral and maxillofacial surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 5 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 rapid global spread of SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19, has dominated healthcare services, with exponential numbers requiring mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU). Tracheostomy facilitates respiratory and sedative weaning but risks potential viral transmission. This study reviewed the tracheostomy provision, techniques, and outcomes for a single-centre prospective cohort during the resource-pressured COVID-19 period. Seventy-two of 176 patients underwent tracheostomy at a median 17 days: 44 surgical (open), 28 percutaneous. Their median age was 58 years, the male to female ratio was 2.4:1, 75.1% were of BAME backgrounds, 76% had a BMI≥25kg/m
