Against the Odds: Safe Intubation in a Young Patient With a Massive Tonsillar Tumor.
Article in Cureus, 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
Oropharyngeal tumors pose significant challenges for airway management and nasogastric tube (NGT) insertion due to anatomical distortion. We report a case of a young male who underwent excision of a large left oropharyngeal mass, diagnosed as a pleomorphic adenoma. The case required meticulous planning for nasotracheal intubation and preprocedural NGT insertion, as requested by the surgeon, due to tumor-related airway distortion. After induction of general anesthesia, right-sided nasotracheal intubation was performed uneventfully using the video laryngoscope. Left-sided NGT insertion was completed preprocedurally without complications. This report highlights the strategic use of video laryngoscopy, preoperative coordination, and tailored NGT placement in managing complex head and neck cases, ensuring safe airway and nutritional access.
