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: Thirst is a common symptom of severe discomfort in awake patients with transoral tracheal intubation in the intensive care units (ICUs), which affects their physical and mental health. Due to the presence of transoral tracheal intubation, patients are unable to express their thirst needs in a timely manner through words, and nurses are prone to ignore their thirst symptoms. At present, there is a lack of systematic intervention protocols for managing thirst symptoms in awake patients undergoing transoral tracheal intubation in the ICU. Therefore, there is an urgent need to construct systematic intervention protocols for this group of patients. Design: A stepwise multimethod study was conducted. The intervention protocol was developed through qualitative research, evidence synthesis, and the Delphi method. Methods: Guided by symptom management theory, first, qualitative research methods were used to explore patients' thirst experience and nursing needs. Second, evidence-based methods were used to summarize the best evidence for thirst intervention in patients. Based on the results of qualitative research and evidence summary, a preliminary intervention protocol was formed. Finally, the Delphi method was used to consult 21 experts, soliciting their opinions and revising the protocol accordingly to form the final version. Results: The expert enthusiasm of the two rounds of expert consultation was 95.45% and 100%, respectively, the expert authority coefficient was 0.89, the Kendall harmony coefficient of item importance was 0.442 and 0.581, and the Kendall harmony coefficient of item feasibility was 0.363 and 0.509, respectively ( Conclusion: The thirst intervention program for awake patients with transoral tracheal intubation in ICU constructed in this study demonstrates sound scientific validity and can provide effective guidance for addressing patients' thirst symptoms while improving oral moisture and comfort levels.
