Developing an innovative interventional approach for stenting trachea.
Article in BMJ surgery, interventions, & health technologies, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objectives: Stenting is a method of controlling airway occlusions (CAO) that can be used alone or in combination with other treatments. There are different types of airway stents. One of the most widely used types is silicone stent. These stents are flexible and firm enough cylinders inserted into the airway by a rigid scope to relieve dyspnoea caused by CAO in malignant and non-malignant diseases. We have developed a method that can be applied quickly in remote urgent cases without a rigid scope. Design: We used two endotracheal tubes with a size of 8.5 for stenting. Setting: This research was conducted at Pediatric Urology and Regenerative Medicine Research Center, Children's Medical Center, Pediatric Center of Excellence, Animal Lab Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran (IR). Participants instead of patients or subjects: Two certified mature sheep (ewes). Interventions: Silicone stent placement for 2 months. Main outcome measures: A method with minimal facilities for stenting without limitation of trachea size. Results: A pilot animal study has been performed on two mature certified sheep to test a stenting procedure. Stenting procedures have been successfully implemented on the animals' trachea. Conclusions: We have developed a new simple, fast and cheap procedure for stenting silicon stents with minimum risk. We can easily place and rotate the stent during the procedure.
