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

Upper airway stenosis is a potentially life-threatening condition involving the narrowing of the airway. In more severe cases, airway stenosis may be accompanied by stridor, a type of disordered breathing caused by turbulent airflow. Patients with airway stenosis have a higher risk of airway failure and additional precautions must be taken before medical interventions like intubation. However, stenosis and stridor are often misdiagnosed as other respiratory conditions like asthma/wheezing, worsening outcomes. This report presents a unified dataset containing recorded breathing tasks from patients with stridor and airway stenosis. Customized transformer-based models were also trained to perform stenosis and stridor detection tasks using low-cost data from multiple acoustic prompts recorded on common devices. These methods achieved AUC scores of 0.875 for stenosis detection and 0.864 for stridor detection, demonstrating the potential to add value as screening tools in real-world clinical workflows, particularly in high-volume settings like emergency departments.
