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

A 24-year-old man with Down syndrome and congenital tracheal stenosis, who had undergone cartilage patch tracheoplasty twice in infancy, was transferred from a local hospital to manage an airway emergency. On arrival, the patient was in severe respiratory distress. Increased airway pressure following endotracheal intubation complicated the administration of mechanical ventilation. CT of the chest showed widespread consolidation and tracheal stenosis 3 cm above the carina distal to the tip of the endotracheal tube. The diagnosis was tracheal stenosis with type A influenza infection. The patient was transferred to another hospital for initiating venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). Intubation with a 6.0 mm spiral tube was successful after intraluminal balloon dilatation of the tracheal stenosis. The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit and was weaned off VV-ECMO on day 3 due to improvement in respiratory status. A tracheotomy was performed on day 28 and the tracheal tube was removed on day 41.
