Unexpected Airway Obstruction in a Patient With Undiagnosed Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis.
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
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a rare systemic vasculitis that can involve the respiratory tract and lead to severe airway complications. We present a 61-year-old female with an undiagnosed GPA who experienced severe airway obstruction and rapid deterioration during a flexible bronchoscopy. Severe glottic edema and reduced vocal cord mobility resulted in a challenging airway and rapid desaturation, and ultimately led to cardiac arrest. This case highlights the importance of considering GPA in the differential diagnosis of patients with unexplained respiratory symptoms, even in the absence of classic clinical features. Early diagnosis, careful pre-procedural airway assessment, and experienced airway management are essential to minimize the risk of airway compromise in patients with suspected or confirmed GPA.
