Significance of the evaluation of tracheal length using a three-dimensional imaging workstation.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: Limited information is available on the total tracheal length and its other characteristics for tracheal surgery. This study aimed to investigate the reference value of tracheal length and assess its relationship with physiological variables. Methods: We measured the tracheal length of 215 patients (107 men and 108 women) who underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography before thoracic surgery using a three-dimensional imaging workstation. Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were performed to investigate the relationship between the total tracheal length (cervical and thoracic) and common physiological parameters. Results: The mean total tracheal length was 11.5±1 cm (range, 8.8-14.4 cm); 8% of the patients had a total tracheal length <10 cm. The cervical trachea was significantly shorter in men than in women (2.9±1.3 Conclusions: The total tracheal length ranged from short to long in individuals, and characteristics of tracheal length varied with height, age, sex, and part of the trachea. We should thus be aware of the tracheal length of each patient for appropriate tracheal management.
