1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective This study aims to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on urgent awake tracheotomies (UATs) in adults in a reference center. Methodology During the pandemic (between March 2020 and May 2022) and before the pandemic (between January 2018 and March 2020), medical charts of patients who underwent UATs were reviewed. The analysis focused on demographic characteristics, indications, COVID-19 positivity status, surgical procedures, and complications. Results During the pandemic, 67 UATs (age 62.04 ± 11.9 years) were performed. Of the indications, 56 (83.5%) were malignancy. Before the pandemic, 22 UATs (age 63.86 ± 15.1 years) were performed, of which 14 UATs (63.6%) were due to malignancy. There was a significant increase in UATs and their indications in patients with head and neck malignancies (
