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 a case of idiopathic laryngotracheal stenosis (ILTS) in a 72-year-old woman scheduled for a right upper lobectomy. Although she had no history of tracheal intubation or respiratory disease, her bronchus was stenosed for approximately 2 cm starting 5 cm below the vocal cords, with the narrowest lumen measuring 10 mm, which impeded placement of a 32 Fr double-lumen tube (DLT). Consequently, a 7.5 mm endotracheal tube with a bronchial blocker was used for lung isolation. Even without a history of tracheal stenosis, it is crucial to evaluate potential stenosis using CT or endoscopy. If symptoms occur, endoscopic or surgical treatment should be considered.
