Anaesthesia Management in a Case of Ludwig's Angina With Difficult Airway Managed by Emergency Tracheostomy.
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
Severe neck infections present significant challenges for anesthesiologists due to the complexities associated with managing difficult airways. Ludwig's angina, a rapidly progressing infection of the submandibular space, exemplifies these challenges due to the high risk of airway obstruction. This case report details an emergency procedure performed to drain Ludwig's angina, highlighting the difficulties encountered and the strategies employed. Awake fiberoptic intubation is demonstrated as an effective approach for maintaining the airway during such operations. The report underscores the critical nature of quick and effective management, emphasizing the importance of readiness for interventions such as tracheostomy in cases where oxygen saturation drops, thereby ensuring patient safety in precarious situations.
