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

Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy is an established technique for securing the airway in critically ill patients. One of the most common complications is bleeding around the incision or after injury to major vessels in anatomic proximity.We report a case in which a thrombocytopenic patient experienced life-threatening bleeding during the procedure at the bifurcation between segmental bronchus 9 and 10, apparently caused by an unrecognized guide wire-induced mucosal lesion. Immediate extensive bronchoscopy and hemostatic interventions were required to ensure oxygenation. To better illustrate this complication, a patient-specific (1:1) three-dimensional model of the patient's bronchial system was subsequently created using a 3D printer. In conclusion, 3d printing can help to visualize uncommon complications during intensive care interventions. It is recommended to advance the guide wire the guide wire only until the tracheal carina under bronchoscopic control.Word count: 135.
