Effectiveness and Safety of Nasal Herbal Steam Therapy for Post-Extubation Respiratory Symptoms: A Methodology of Pragmatic Randomized Controlled, Parallel Grouped Study.
Article in Integrative cancer therapies. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Post-extubastion respiratory symptoms (PERS) are a common sequelae of endotracheal intubation, impeding postoperative recovery. Despite the widespread use of prophylactic corticosteroids and symptomatic management, these approaches have limitations in alleviating PERS. In this study, we aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nasal herbal steam therapy (NHST), a traditional Korean medicine intervention, in managing PERS among patients with thyroid cancer following endotracheal intubation. In this pragmatic, parallel-group randomized controlled trial, 66 post-thyroidectomy patients with thyroid cancer who underwent endotracheal intubation will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the NHST group or the standard care group. The intervention group will receive personalized NHST for 5 consecutive days, whereas the control group will follow conventional postoperative care protocols. The primary endpoint is the change in Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey scores from baseline to day 5. Secondary endpoints included patient-reported symptom relief, safety assessments, and adherence rates. By investigating the therapeutic potential of NHST, this study will establish its role as a non-invasive, adjunctive intervention for improving intubation-related complications, potentially contributing to broadening integrative treatment strategies and optimizing recovery outcomes for patients with PERS. The study will be conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and approved by the Institutional Review Board of CHA Ilsan Medical Center (ICHA 2024-011-006, date of approval 2024-09-04).
