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
In this report, we describe the successful anaesthetic management and intermittent intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) of a patient with a retrosternal goitre that caused severe tracheal compression (more than 70% occlusion) and tested positive for Pemberton's sign. While endotracheal tubes (ETT) with vocal cord surface electrodes are commonly used for IONM, they cannot be used in cases of distal tracheal compression, specifically when the compression occurs 5 cm or more below the vocal cords. In such situations, these neuromonitoring ETTS can get displaced and lose contact with the vocal cords, ultimately undermining their effectiveness. Electrodes attached to the thyroid cartilage can be used to monitor V1-R1-R2-V2 signals in such cases.
