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

Objective: The aim of this study was to comprehensively summarize the best currently available evidence by reviewing and analyzing the relevant literature in the area of care and maintenance of tracheostomy patients in the ICU. The evidence covers a wide range of aspects of postoperative care, complication prevention and management, rehabilitation support, and multidisciplinary collaboration for tracheostomy patients. Methods: Using the "6S" evidence-based model, we searched multiple databases. The search focused on evidence related to the care of tracheostomy patients, including maintenance, nursing measures, multidisciplinary collaboration, and quality improvement, with the time frame ranging from the inception of the databases to March 14, 2025. Two researchers independently evaluated the quality of the literature, extracted data, and summarized evidence from publications meeting the inclusion criteria. Results: A total of 12 relevant documents were retrieved, including 6 guidelines, 2 expert consensus papers, 1 best clinical practice guideline, 3 Meta-analyses. Through summarization and induction, 49 best evidence pieces were obtained across three major themes: maintenance and protection, nursing measures, and multidisciplinary collaboration and quality improvement. These were further divided into 15 sub-themes, covering equipment management, environmental optimization, infection prevention, postoperative care, airway humidification, suctioning, tracheostomy tube management, skin care, rehabilitation exercises, complication prevention, and daily assessments. Conclusion: This research systematically compiles the optimal evidence regarding the care and management of tracheostomy patients, offering a comprehensive foundation for evidence-based clinical practice. It assists healthcare professionals in developing personalized care plans, improving patient safety, reducing complications, and promoting recovery. Future research should focus on optimizing multidisciplinary collaboration, exploring nurse-led interventions, and addressing cultural and resource limitations to further enhance the standardization and personalization of tracheostomy care.
