Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis: Anesthetic Challenge.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Temporomandibular joint ankylosis cases serve as a challenge for both surgeons and anesthesiologists possibly due to the unavailability of resources in remote locations. Distressing issues brought on by its ankylosis include functional as well as esthetic issues such as considerable difficulties in managing the airway, especially in children because of the physiology and structure of their airways being different. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) has a well-established role in patients with difficult airways, but it is especially challenging in pediatric patients because of their lack of cooperation and diminished lung reserve. Techniques used to secure airways in adults may not be ideal for children and sometimes dedicated equipment may not be available. Here we present a case of a 14-year-old boy with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis. This study aimed to describe the difficulties experienced in managing his airway.
