Uvular Necrosis: Day-to-Day Progression of a Rare Postoperative Complication.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Uvular necrosis is a rare post-procedural complication thought to be caused by mechanical compression of the uvula during endotracheal intubation. We described the day-to-day progression of uvular necrosis after right shoulder acromioclavicular (AC) joint reconstruction. We present a case of a 22-year-old male who visited the emergency department after sustaining a right shoulder trauma. Diagnosis of a type V AC dislocation with total coracoclavicular ligament tear was established. On day one, after endotracheal intubation for the right shoulder AC joint reconstruction, the patient complained of severe throat pain that progressed to odynophagia, dysphagia, and choking. Examination revealed an erythematous uvula with well-demarcated necrotic tissue. He was managed conservatively with acetaminophen and ice chips. Day-to-day symptom progression description may guide physicians in managing postoperative uvular necrosis.
