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

SARS-CoV-2 virus has led to an unprecedented amount of tracheal stenosis. Rigid bronchoscopy can serve as a curative measure or bridge therapy to tracheal resection. We also briefly discuss the pathophysiology of tracheal stenosis from prolonged intubation and SARS-CoV-2 virus. This should be differentiated from other forms of airway obstruction such as tracheobronchomalacia which would be considered a pseudo-tracheal stenotic disease. The aim of this study is to evaluate stenosis that is unable to be improved with positive airway pressure or "PAP" therapies and required stenting and/or subsequent tracheal resection. By performing Rigid Bronchoscopy and subsequent stenting of airways, we demonstrated outcomes for long term airway patency regarding patients who were intubated secondary to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. We demonstrate superb outcomes in a consecutive case series of 6 patients managed with rigid bronchoscopy, airway stent and tracheal resection. The patients were all managed from a pulmonary perspective by the physicians mentioned in this study.
