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

Conventional silicone airway stents are effective in relieving stenoses but are prone to complications such as migration and granulation tissue formation. These complications reduce patients' tolerance and induce unwanted procedures, limiting their overall benefit. Over the past decade, personalised, three-dimensional (3D)-printed silicone stents have emerged as a possible solution to some of these concerns. In this narrative review, the authors aim to guide the physician into understanding the relatively straightforward creative process behind 3D stents and the selection process of the best patients for their use. Current use is limited to complex anatomical airway stenoses, but more indications could blossom from future trials as technology, expertise and access develop going forward.
