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

Hypoxaemia in the postanaesthesia care unit is common and the majority is caused by hypoventilation or upper airway obstruction due to the (residual) effects of anaesthetic and analgesic agents. We present a case of upper airway obstruction caused by vocal cord dysfunction, a less frequently occurring aetiology. The patient's case suggests a notable relationship between procedural laryngeal stimulus and the onset of symptoms. Approach to the diagnosis and flexible laryngoscopy to either rule-in or rule-out several relevant differentials are discussed.
