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

backgroundThe short-term efficacy of Dumon stent has been well demonstrated. Across years, however, due to insufficient sample size and absent of the randomized controlled trial, no reliable conclusion could be reach for Dumon stent's long-term efficacy. So, we conducted the first meta-analysis to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of the Dumon stent for benign tracheal stenosis.

methodsData on related trials were obtained by doing a literature search in PubMed, Web of Science and Cochrane Library. Random-effect and fixed-effect models were used to calculate the efficacy and incidence of complication of Dumon stent placement.

resultsA total of 395 patients from 8 studies were included in this study, revealing that the stability rate was 41.12% (95% CI, 34.85-48.52%) of Dumon stenting. Further, a curative rate of 40.74% (95% CI, 34.92-47.53%), and efficacy of 75.49% (95% CI, 70.89-80.39%) were obtained from this study. Analysis of the incidence of complications indicated 25.04% of migration (95% CI, 17.52-35.79%), 15.66% granulation (95% CI, 9.39-26.11%) and 23.82% of mucus retention 23.82% (95% CI, 13.77-41.20%).

conclusionsDumon stent has a moderate efficacy for treating benign tracheal stenosis with approximately 20% incidence of complication, regular bronchoscopy follow-up should be conducted. Thus, further research is required to modified Dumon stenting.
