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

Endobronchial blood clots or mucus plugs can present with minimal symptoms or acute airway obstruction in the intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Acute airway obstruction can lead to rapid worsening of dyspnea owing to poor oxygenation due to collapse of the lung. Prompt recognition and treatment of this condition can translate into a successful outcome by decreasing morbidity and mortality and facilitating successful weaning of these patients. When conventional methods fail to relieve the obstruction, cryoextraction a novel technique, may prove to be a useful alternative for the removal of these clots and mucus plugs. Cryoextraction is best performed with rigid bronchoscopic intubation. However, in certain conditions, it may be used with a flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) through an endotracheal tube, especially when bedside procedure is required in ICU patients. In this series, three cases are being discussed where bedside flexible bronchoscopy-guided cryoextraction was done leading to a successful resolution of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure.
