Asphyxia caused by delayed subglottic stenosis after neck trauma.

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
Delayed subglottic stenosis (SGS) is an unusual complication. Here, we report a particular case of delayed SGS. A 17-year-old female suffered extensive injuries including severe neck trauma in a car accident, and complained of dyspnea after 30 days. Tracheal stenosis was observed by fiber optic bronchoscopy, but no specific treatment was administered to the patient. While being transferred to a tertiary hospital 3 days later, the patient fell into deep coma due to hypoxia, and died of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and severe pulmonary infection in the intensive care unit (ICU) 58 days later. Postmortem autopsy and pathological investigation revealed tracheal stenosis 3.0 cm below the vocal cords with a diameter of 0.5 cm, which was caused by a cricoid cartilage fracture, fibrous tissue proliferation and inflammatory cell infiltration. We believed that external forces caused the cricoid fracture and mucosal damage, and after a month of fibrous repair, scar tissue formed the stenosis and caused her death. This report describes a rare condition in which slowly progressive intralaryngeal stenosis formation after external neck trauma could cause asphyxial death in a previously asymptomatic adult.
