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

backgroundTracheal papillomatosis is a relatively rare condition with limited data on successful treatment modalities. To our knowledge, this is the first report to describe a papilloma arising from an accessory bronchus. Furthermore, this case report demonstrates successful treatment with clinical and patient-centered improvements after use of Spray Cryotherapy. CASE PRESENTATION: A 71-year-old woman presented with one year history of recurrent fevers and intermittent hemoptysis. Imaging and video bronchoscopy revealed an obstructing papilloma of an accessory tracheal bronchus to the right upper lobe. She was treated with debridement followed by multiple cryotherapy treatments resulting in complete clinical and radiographic resolution of her post-obstructive pneumonia.

conclusionsThis case report not only supports existing literature on the use of cryotherapy for airway diseases but also presents a unique form of obstructing papilloma confined to an accessory bronchus, the only report of its kind based on extensive literature review.
