Recognizing Vocal Cord Dysfunction: Exercising Caution Before Intubation.
Article in Cureus, 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
Vocal cord dysfunction (VCD) is the inappropriate adduction of the vocal cords during inhalation and sometimes, exhalation. Vocal cord dysfunction is often misdiagnosed in the emergency room as asthma exacerbation or laryngeal angioedema, leading to unnecessary and potentially harmful interventions including intubation and mechanical ventilation. Based on this, it is especially important to recognize this condition early to avoid intubation, which can further worsen VCD. This case presents a 74-year-old female with a history of hypertension and colon cancer who presented to the emergency department (ED) with respiratory distress associated with stridor and wheezing. Our literature review sheds light on identifying key clinical features, physical exam findings, diagnostic tests, existing treatment options for this condition, and preventive measures to minimize its occurrence.
