Effect of COVID-19 on the incidence of postintubation laryngeal lesions.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Critically ill patients intubated in the intensive care unit experience prolonged intubation leading to increased frequency of laryngeal injuries. This study aimed to demonstrate a suspected increase in vocal fold injury in patients who were intubated with COVID-19 as compared with patients intubated for other reasons. Methods: A retrospective review of medical records was performed to identify patients examined using flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing exams. The study included 25 patients with COVID-19 and 27 without COVID-19 at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Temple, Texas. Various injuries were evaluated, ranging from granulation tissue to vocal cord paralysis. Severe lesions were those causing clinically significant airway obstruction or requiring operative intervention. The incidence of laryngeal injury in patients intubated for COVID-19 was then compared with that of patients intubated for other reasons. Results: The increased presence of severe injury in COVID-positive patients appeared clinically significant but was not statistically significant ( Conclusion: Lower thresholds for performing flexible laryngoscopy on postintubated patients who are proned may allow for earlier intervention and reduce morbidity in an already at-risk population.
