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

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder leading to bony ankylosis, ossification, and fibrosis of the spine. Airway management is difficult in these patients due to restricted head and neck movement as well as a stiff body posture. This also poses challenges in lying down supine as well as surgical positioning. We report a case of a patient with AS and multiple co-morbidities who underwent a percutaneous nephrolithotomy for renal calculi, and the customisations made in anaesthetic and surgical techniques to safely perform the procedure.
