Managing a Complex Pediatric Airway Affected by Venolymphatic Malformation of the Face: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
We present a case of a two-year-old male child with a progressive venolymphatic malformation on the right cheek, resulting in facial asymmetry and mass effect, scheduled for mass excision under general anesthesia. The preoperative assessment indicated a potential for difficult mask ventilation and intubation due to the deviation of the mouth. Airway management strategies included two-hand mask techniques, appropriately sized masks, supraglottic airway device (SGAD) insertion during spontaneous respiration, video laryngoscopy, and awake fiberoptic intubation. During induction, an SGAD (i-gel no. 2) was successfully placed under spontaneous breathing, and after checking the adequacy of ventilation, endotracheal intubation with muscle relaxation was done. The surgery proceeded without complications, and the patient was extubated in the postoperative period. This case emphasizes the importance of successfully managing airway challenges through individualized planning in complex pediatric airways, especially in patients with facial malformations.
