The Adult Epiglottitis Enigma: 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. 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
Adult epiglottitis, once primarily associated with pediatric populations, has emerged as a distinctive clinical entity with potentially life-threatening implications. This condition is characterized by inflammation and swelling of the epiglottis, presenting initially as a seemingly benign sore throat and dysphagia but progressing rapidly to more severe symptoms such as drooling, severe odynophagia, hoarse voice, and acute upper airway obstruction. Timely diagnosis and intervention are paramount, as delayed presentation can result in fatal outcomes even in adults. The cornerstone of treatment involves securing the airway, providing supplemental oxygen, and administering intravenous antibiotics. In this report, we present a case of adult epiglottitis in a 20-year-old individual, discussing the clinical presentation, diagnostic considerations, and the essential components of its management. Recognition of adult epiglottitis as a distinct clinical entity is crucial for healthcare practitioners to ensure prompt intervention and optimize patient outcomes.
