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

Tracheobronchial injuries are either traumatic or iatrogenic but can be lethal in a high dependency setting if not managed promptly. There are few reported cases of cocaine-induced airway damage and barotrauma due to thermal or ischemic injury and increased intra-alveolar pressure. We present a sui generis case of cocaine-induced bronchial laceration with pneumomediastinum which was challenging to diagnose based on the patient's recent history of hospitalization, as well as the patient's reluctance to share the history of cocaine use. The patient was successfully managed conservatively. Here, we discuss the mechanism involved and the various treatment options available, along with the role of early involvement of the multidisciplinary team to deliver the best possible outcome.
