Detection of tongue edema caused by endotracheal intubation tube in ICU patients by ultrasonography: a prospective, observational, clinical study.
Observational study in Journal of clinical monitoring and computing, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05249738 (Detection of Tongue Edema Caused by Intubation Tube in Intensive Care Unit Patients by Ultrasonography), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 papers.
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

Abstract
purposeWe aimed to determine the tongue edema that may develop due to the pressure exerted by the endotracheal intubation (ETI) tube on the tongue during the follow-up period of mechanical ventilation in patients intubated in the intensive care unit (ICU) by submental ultrasonography (USG). Also, we aimed to investigate the effect of tongue edema on the oxygen saturation values (SpO
methodsOne hundred patients aged 18-65 years, who were followed up with mechanical ventilation in the ICU from the 0th day of intubation, were included. Patients (n = 57) who were followed up on mechanical ventilation for four days or longer after ETI were included in the study group. Those who were followed up on mechanical ventilation for three days or less after endotracheal intubation and were extubated during this period were included in the control group (n = 43). The tongue cross-sectional areas (TSAs) of patients in both groups were measured twice with submental USG. The first measurement (TSA
resultsThe tongue edema was more prevalent in the study group (p < 0.01). A significant negative correlation was found between the SpO
conclusionsTongue edema may develop due to the long-term application of pressure of the ETI tube on the tongue and may impair oxygenation after extubation. CLINICALTRIALS: GOV IDENTIFIER: NCT05249738.
