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

Anesthetic management of children with a post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage can be challenging. The patients may be anemic and hypovolemic and are at increased risk of having a difficult airway due to active bleeding, vomiting, and anatomical issues. A clot may also interfere with viewing the larynx, further exacerbating the difficulty of intubation. We describe a pediatric post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage case complicated by a large obstructing clot that was removed with Magill forceps after the airway was successfully secured with an endotracheal tube during rapid sequence induction.
