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

Cricothyroidotomy remains one of the reliable methods for securing the airway when all other methods fail. A broken surgical blade lodged in the neck which stemmed from this procedure is almost unheard of. The objective of this case report is to highlight the challenges in managing foreign bodies in the neck due to iatrogenic causes and the utilization of imaging studies to locate the foreign bodies. We present a case of a 50-year-old lady who was in a 'Can't Intubate, Can't Oxygenate' situation and underwent a cricothyroidotomy but complicated with two fragments of surgical blades were broken and lodged in the neck.
