Unexpected blunt neck trauma resulting in laryngeal fracture, the case of the dangerous wooden box: A case report.
Article in Trauma case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundLaryngeal fracture is a rare condition but is potentially lethal. These injuries are usually caused by major blunt trauma from motor vehicle accidents, physical assaults, or sports injuries. The high mortality associated with these injuries requires prompt recognition and treatment. CASE REPORT: We present a case of laryngeal fracture caused by falling from standing height and landing onto the edge of a wooden box- a seemingly minor blunt trauma. The patient fractured her thyroid lamina and had a comminuted fracture of the cricoid cartilage. The patient was able to be decannulated and required injection augmentation for return of normal voice.
conclusionThis case highlights the importance of maintaining a high level of suspicion for laryngeal fracture in a patient that falls and strikes the anterior neck. Early identification of laryngeal fractures not only allows for airway protection but helps ensure the preservation of voice, swallowing and airway functions.
