Airway Complications After Anterior Cervical Spine Surgery: Etiology and Risk Factors.
Article in Global spine journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
STUDY
designNarrative Review.
objectiveTo provide an overview of etiology and risk factors of airway complications after anterior cervical spine surgery (ACSS).
methodsA search was performed in PubMed and adapted for use in other databases, including Embase, Cochrane Library, Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials, Health Technology Assessment database, and NHS Economic Evaluation Database.
results81 full-text studies were reviewed. A total of 53 papers were included were included in the review and an additional four references were extracted from other references. 39 papers were categorized as etiology and 42 as risk factors.
conclusionsMost of the literature on airway compromise after ACSS is level III or IV evidence. Currently, there are no systems in place to risk-stratify patients undergoing ACSS regarding airway compromise or guidelines on how to manage patients when these complications do occur. This review focused on theory, primarily etiology and risk factors.
