Device for Performing Spirometry in Total Laryngectomized Patients.
Article in OTO open. 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
Patients who have undergone total laryngectomy (TL) are, in most cases, affected by lung disease due to smoking habits. Therefore, as part of the follow-up protocol for these patients, a spirometry test should be performed to adequately assess lung function. Current spirometers do not allow for spirometry tests in patients who breathe through a tracheostomy, as the patient cannot perform respiratory acts from the spirometer mouthpiece, which is designed to be used by mouth. We have, therefore, designed a device that allows the test to be performed through the tracheostoma. The device is made of biocompatible polymeric material, modeled using a 3-dimensional printer, reusable, and hermetically connected to the spirometer distally and to the tracheostoma proximally. The device was used on 5 patients who underwent TL and was found to be comfortable, safe, and valid for diagnostic purposes.
