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

Aerosol-generating procedures are avoided for patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) to lower the risk of transmission to health care providers. However, when bronchoscopy is indicated, it remains unclear whether the procedure performed while the patient is under general anesthesia leads to contamination of the surroundings and whether standard endoscopy reprocessing methods are effective in eradicating severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. This report describes a case of bronchoscopic retrieval of a foreign body in the airway of a patient under general anesthesia who tested positive for COVID-19. The report focuses on anesthesia techniques to minimize aerosolization.
