A Recently Patented Sleeve-Type Endotracheal Tube: Innovative Design and Clinical Prospects for Improving One-Lung Ventilation.
Review in Medical devices (Auckland, N.Z.), 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
The Sleeve-Type Endotracheal Tube (STET) is an innovative airway management device designed to address the limitations associated with traditional double-lumen tubes (DLTs) and bronchial blockers (BBs). Utilizing a modular structure comprising an outer sheath tube, inner sheath tube, and blocking tube, the STET offers increased flexibility in one-lung ventilation (OLV) and airway clearance, thereby reducing airway trauma and improving ventilation efficiency. Its dual-cuff system ensures stable positioning, while its versatile design accommodates diverse patient populations, including pediatric patients and those with difficult airway anatomy. This review explores the structural characteristics, manufacturing processes, clinical advantages, potential limitations, and practical applications of the STET. After multiple rounds of structural optimization, the STET design has successfully advanced into pilot production. Preliminary validation results from small-scale manufacturing and functional testing demonstrate promising structural stability, operational flexibility, and safety performance. The STET represents a significant advancement in airway management, holding substantial potential to improve patient outcomes and transform clinical practice in thoracic surgery and critical care anesthesiology.
