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

We report the anesthetic management of a patient presenting with a mobile vocal cord lesion in combination with restricted mouth opening. Fiber-optic laryngoscopy revealed a highly mobile vocal cord lesion, moving in and out of the vocal cords with respiration. A very small tracheal lumen was visible posteriorly during expiration. ASA difficult airway algorithm was applied, and the patient was successfully intubated awake with a # 5 microlaryngeal tube loaded over a pediatric bronchoscope. We aim to highlight the importance of detailed preoperative evaluation, adopting difficult airway algorithms and utilization of devices, with which we have maximum expertise with some modification as the key to avoid airway-related adverse events in such patients.
