Airway stenting for central airway obstruction: a review.
Review in Mediastinum (Hong Kong, China), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
Central airway obstruction is a serious complication of various diseases, most often malignancy. Malignant etiologies include primary lung cancer as most common though metastases from various other cancers can obstruct the airways as well. Benign etiologies include inflammatory or fibrotic changes due to prior airway interventions (e.g., endotracheal intubation or tracheostomy) or specific autoimmune conditions. Different interventional modalities exist including various electrosurgical or mechanical debulking tools, though these are sometimes insufficient or contraindicated for the purpose of restoration of airway patency. The placement of stents is thus needed in certain particularly complex or refractory cases. Airway stenting requires careful patient selection and stent selection along with a thorough knowledge of relevant anatomy and procedural technique. Indeed, certain clinical presentations are better suited for stent placement and more likely to achieve a symptomatic benefit. Moreover, a variety of stents exist with each having different attributes that may better fit specific conditions. Complications must be managed properly as well. These include stent migration, granulation tissue formation, and stent-related infection which can have clinically significant consequences. In this review, we will discuss airway stenting for central airway obstruction with regard to these various subject areas as well as conclude with discussion of future research directions.
