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

Iatrogenic laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) is pathologic airway narrowing due to scar formation following endotracheal intubation or tracheostomy. It is a chronic and recurrent disease that results in significant morbidity or even mortality. Current data suggests that inflammatory pathways play a significant role in mediating the deposition of collagen and extracellular matrix to generate this scar. In particular, the T-helper 2 cell and M2 macrophage axis appears to be activated in both animal models and patients with iatrogenic LTS. Interleukin-6 production in response to hypoxia has also been implicated. In this paper, we review the data supporting the roles of various inflammatory pathways in the pathogenesis of iatrogenic LTS, discuss potential therapeutic approaches targeting these mechanisms, and outline areas for future study.
