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

Post-intubation laryngeal oedema typically manifests early with stridor following extubation. We present a case of a patient who underwent elective surgery for breast malignancy and developed inspiratory stridor approximately 48 h post-extubation. Initial suspicion pointed towards subglottic stenosis; however, the patient opted out of the proposed surgical intervention to address her airway concerns. Thus, medical management was initiated alongside close monitoring, resulting in a successful resolution. This prompted a revised diagnosis of post-intubation subglottic oedema. This case underscores the importance of considering delayed-onset laryngeal oedema as a differential diagnosis for post-extubation stridor, even in the absence of traditional risk factors. It also explores the delicate balance between clinical judgment and respecting patient autonomy.
