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

This case report describes the airway course of a 52-year-old male who required emergent exploratory laparotomy for suspected gastrointestinal perforation. The patient had underlying subglottic stenosis and unilateral vocal cord paralysis, as well as a history of significant cardiopulmonary disease. Attempts at intubation using standard tube sizes were unsuccessful. A 6.0 endotracheal tube was eventually passed beyond a point of resistance, allowing the operation to proceed. He remained intubated after surgery and was successfully extubated several days later. The report emphasizes the need for adaptable airway plans and highlights the constraints that may arise during urgent operative care.
