Clinical management and nursing care for patients with tracheostomy following traumatic brain injury.
Review in Frontiers in neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Tracheostomy is a routine surgical procedure in patients with severe traumatic brain injury, which requires mechanical ventilation to maintain gas exchange and avoid hypoxemia. Inadequate tracheostomy timing, nursing care, and decannulation would lead to a series of complications, such as aggravated pneumonia and prolonged intubation. The effects of early tracheostomy versus late tracheostomy have been explored. And early tracheostomy is more likely associated with shorter hospital stays and fewer complications. But the relevant reports are controversial. A safe and fast tracheostomy decannulation would facilitate the recovery. However, there was a broad variability in the indications and timing of tracheostomy and decannulation. High-quality evidence is subsequently lacking. We conducted this review to address gaps in knowledge regarding the management strategy and nursing protocol in patients with tracheostomy and decannulation following traumatic brain injury. A multidisciplinary tracheostomy team containing nursing care was also discussed to provide the best service to these patients.
