Comparison of Outcomes of Early Versus Late Tracheostomy in the Treatment of Mechanically Ventilated Critically ill Patients.
Article in Indian journal of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery : official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Comparative evaluation of early and late tracheostomy outcomes in mechanically ventilated patients. The present retrospective study was conducted in Government medical college Jammu from April 2021 to November 2022 on 111 tracheotomised patient in intensive care unit. All tracheostomies with in 10 days of intubation were grouped as early tracheostomy (ET) group and all those done after 10 days were grouped as LATE TRACHEOSTOMY (LT) group. APACHE II score at the time of intensive care unit admission of all included tracheotomised patients was noted. Data regarding mortality, duration of mechanical ventilation and length of stay in intensive care unit (ICU) was studied. Mean age of presentation was 41.5 ± 15.7 yrs, with male preponderance. Out of 111 patients, 57 patients underwent early tracheostomy and 54 underwent late TRACHEOSTOMY. In APACHE II, < 25 category-short term mortality was 4 in ET and 5 in LT; long term mortality in ET was 4 and 10 in LT; average days of mechanical ventilation were 11.2 in ET and 3 in LT; average stay in ICU was 18 days in ET and 61 days in LT. in APACHE II > 25-short term mortality was 4 in ET and 5 in LT; long term mortality in ET was 3 and 9 in LT. Average days of mechanical ventilation were 10.8 in ET and 57 in LT; average stay in ICU was 24 days in ET and 79 days in LT. Early tracheostomy is superior to late Tracheostomy in terms of mortality, number of days of mechanical ventilation and the duration of intensive care unit stay.
