Case Report of Post-Operative Uvular Necrosis Following Intubation.
Article in Journal of education & teaching in emergency medicine, 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
Uvular necrosis is an uncommon but startling complication of manipulation of the posterior oropharynx, either via instrumentation or direct suctioning. Here, we present a patient who developed uvular necrosis after an urgent intubation. Although the uvular necrosis self-resolved via the auto-amputation of the uvula, the change to the uvula was emotionally distressing to the patient. As symptoms typically develop one to two days after the initial injury to the uvula, this diagnosis may be seen in the emergency department, rather than in the inpatient hospital setting. Topics: ENT, uvular disorders, complications of intubation, uvular disease.
