Laryngotracheal stenosis post mechanical ventilation in paediatric burns patients.
Article in International journal of burns and trauma, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionThe duration of endotracheal intubation is thought to be the most important factor in the development of acquired laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS); however, there is a paucity of studies examining the incidence of LTS in the paediatric burn population. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of LTS in paediatric burns patients requiring mechanical ventilation to develop guidelines for consideration of a tracheostomy.
methodsA retrospective review of all children treated at The Children's Hospital at Westmead (CHW) Burns Unit (BU) from December 2009 to December 2019 who required intubation for their burn injury.
resultsDuring the 10-year study period 115 patients required endotracheal intubation after having sustained a burn injury. Of these 11 were excluded. The mean age was 6.2 years (0-16), with the majority of patients being male (65%). The average TBSA was 18.5% with a range of 0.1-70%. Flame was the most common mechanism of burn (n = 59). Burns to the head and/or neck were the most common indication for intubation with the mean duration of intubation 6.1 days (range 0-40). Tracheostomies were performed on two patients (1.9%). LTS was found in two patients (1.9%).
conclusionLTS in the paediatric burn population post mechanical ventilation appears to be a rare event. Endotracheal intubation can safely be used as the route of airway access in paediatric burns patients. Based on our experience, a definitive recommendation on the timing of tracheostomy in the paediatric burn patient cannot be made.
