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
Reinforced endotracheal tubes (ET) are advantageous in preventing tube obstruction and kinking by procedural compression during neurosurgeries. However, the standard reinforced ET contains an embedded stainless steel (SS) helical wire, which produces artifacts and heat during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Therefore, MRI is not indicated in the presence of a reinforced ET containing SS. To overcome this challenge, we developed an MRI-compatible titanium (Ti) reinforced ET. A newly developed Ti alloy helical wire was inserted in a reinforced ET. Here, we report our first clinical experience with six patients who underwent neurosurgery intubated with this Ti-alloy-reinforced ET. The Ti-alloy-reinforced ET was used in six patients requiring reinforced ET intubation. It was clearly delineated on radiography, and metal artifacts were small on computed tomography. Patients intubated with the Ti-alloy-reinforced ET could safely undergo MRI under sedation. MR images without remarkable susceptibility artifacts were obtained without noted adverse effects. We invented a novel Ti-alloy-reinforced ET. This device allows clinical use during MRI because it is less susceptible to artifacts in high magnetic fields.
