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 tracheal diverticulum (TD) is a rare disease that is usually diagnosed as an incidental finding on thoracic computed tomography or bronchoscopy. TDs can be classified as congenital or acquired. In patients undergoing surgery, TDs can result in difficult intubation, difficult ventilation, pneumothorax, and other complications. We herein report a case of anesthetic management of thoracoscopic pulmonary wedge resection in a patient with a giant TD in the carina. Intraoperative double-lumen intubation and single-lung ventilation were challenging to perform. Fiberoptic-guided intubation was helpful, and intraoperative management was tailored to avoid diverticulum rupture. In this report, we also review complications related to TD in surgical patients undergoing mechanical ventilation. Ventilation is one of the most prominent anesthetic challenges. The close collaboration of the entire medical team was a key factor in the successful management of this rare case.
