Asymptomatic Subglottic Stenosis Discovered During Anesthesia Induction and Not Predicted by Preoperative Evaluation: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Subglottic stenosis (SGS) can be asymptomatic in cases with slow-growing granulomas. In this study, we report a case of SGS discovered during tracheal intubation for anesthesia induction. A 74-year-old woman was scheduled for surgery under general anesthesia for a left humeral fracture. Resistance was observed when the tracheal tube passed through the glottis, stopping the tube from advancing. We placed a laryngeal mask (LMA) to secure her airway and examined it using a bronchial fiber to detect circumferential stenosis of the subglottis due to granulation. The airway was secured using an LMA instead of intubation, and the patient was successfully managed under anesthesia. Asymptomatic SGS is difficult to detect preoperatively, and anesthesiologists may encounter unexpected intubation issues. LMA is an important tool for an effective strategy to manage intubation difficulties.
