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

Anterior neck haematoma is a rare but potentially fatal emergency due to airway obstruction after a surgical intervention of the neck. Complete airway obstruction can be rapid and deteriorate exponentially. In a patient with a previously normal laryngeal view during his Sistrunk procedure, we describe the challenges and considerations faced in his second surgery for the evacuation of neck haematoma, which involved an unanticipated difficult airway after rapid sequence induction, necessitating rescue measures using low-skill fibreoptic intubation (LSFOI).
