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
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the surgical outcomes of patients who underwent tracheal resection due to post-intubation tracheal stenosis. Methods: Between January 2014 and December 2021, a total of 44 patients (32 males, 12 females; median age: 48.2 years; range, 13 to 68 years) who underwent tracheal resection and reconstruction for post-intubation tracheal stenosis in our clinic were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic and clinical data of the patients, radiological imaging, and laboratory results and operative and postoperative follow-up data were recorded. Results: The most common reason for intubation among the patients included in the study was trauma. All patients had stridor. Twenty-six (59.1%) patients had at least one comorbidity. Stenosis was located in the upper half of the trachea in 33 (75%) and in the lower half of the trachea in 11 (25%) patients. The length of the tracheal segment removed during surgery was <3 cm in 26 (59.1%) and >3 cm in 18 (40.9%) patients. A total of 16 (36%) patients developed complications. Complications were more frequent in patients with a history of preoperative tracheostomy, presence of comorbidities and resection of the upper half of the trachea. The patients did not receive jaw-neck sutures thanks to the use of retention sutures in our clinic. The median length of stay in the hospital was 5 (range, 4 to 16) days. Conclusion: Significant predisposing factors for complications include preoperative tracheostomy history, comorbidities and resection of the upper half of the trachea. In our study, the patients did not receive jaw-neck sutures thanks to the use of retention sutures, which increased patient comfort in the postoperative period and decreased the frequency of anastomosis-related complications.
