Airway Management of a Patient With Penetrating Maxillofacial Trauma Caused by Chainsaw Kickback: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Anesthesiologists rarely experience airway management in patients with maxillofacial injuries caused by a chainsaw. A 36-year-old male was referred to our hospital because of maxillofacial injuries caused by chainsaw kickback. There were deep lacerations of the right eyelid, medial canthus, cheek, and jaw with venous bleeding. The laceration of the cheek reached the oral cavity and looked like a "second mouth." The patient was taken to the operating room for urgent laceration repair under general anesthesia. Despite a poor laryngeal view, awake orotracheal intubation with a videolaryngoscope was successful on the second attempt without complications. Oxygenation was optimized by supplemental oxygen administration via a suction catheter inserted from the "second mouth" throughout the airway management. The present case highlights the importance of airway management strategies according to the nature of the trauma in patients with penetrating maxillofacial trauma caused by a chainsaw.
