Airway management during transoral robotic surgery for head and neck cancers: a French GETTEC group survey.
Article in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06857396 (Tracheal Exposure Without Tracheostomy Completion), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.

Abstract
purposeThe aim of the survey was to define the indications for preventive tracheostomy in transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for head and neck cancers.
methodsFrom October 2019 to January 2020, an online questionnaire was e-mailed to French surgical ENT teams with considerable experience of the TORS procedure (Gettec group). A descriptive analysis of the answers was performed.
resultsEighteen French surgical teams answered the questionnaire. For 77.8% of the surgical teams, a past history of radiotherapy with residual edema was an indication for prophylactic tracheostomy, and for 88.9%, > 75 mg of antiplatelet medication or anticoagulation treatment was an indication.
conclusionEarly preventive tracheostomy during TORS can protect airway from uncommon but potentially life-threatening complications, such as transoral hemorrhage or airway edema. We recommend it in high-risk situations, such as a past history of radiotherapy or antiplatelet therapy associated with large resections. Further studies are needed to establish evidence-based recommendations.
