Tracheal Reconstruction Using a Nitinol Stent for Thoracic Tracheal Rupture.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). 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
BACKGROUND/
aimEndotracheal tube intubation is required for surgery under inhalation anesthesia. In the present study, after inhalation anesthesia in dogs, the tracheal tube was extubated without deflating the endotracheal tube cuff, resulting in thoracic tracheal rupture, subcutaneous emphysema, and pneumomediastinum. The ruptured thoracic trachea was reconstructed using an endotracheal stent to treat intrathoracic emphysema. MATERIALS AND
methodsA double-wire woven nitinol stent was handmade using a cross-and-hook knitting method. The fabricated endotracheal stent was 2-3 mm larger than the internal diameter of the ruptured trachea. The clinical signs and respiratory pattern, image diagnoses (radiography and computed tomography), and tracheoscopy results after endotracheal stenting were assessed for six months.
resultsThe lateral cervical radiographs showed that the intratracheal stent was properly placed without migration or stent fracture at the insertion site. After two to three weeks of tracheal stenting, the coughing and dyspnea signs revolved, and the normal activities in all dogs were resumed.
conclusionThe double-wire braided nitinol stent showed no migration or deformation in the canine trachea. These results suggest that the nitinol stent is compatible with the canine tracheal structure and has flexibility with an adequate radial force.
