Tracheal Structural Changes in Tracheostomy-Dependent Children With Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia.
Article in Laryngoscope investigative otolaryngology, 2025. 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
Background: Patients with severe Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) are prone to upper airway complications due to their need for prolonged intubation, early tracheostomy placement, and chronic high-pressure ventilation. This study examines structural changes over time in tracheostomy-dependent BPD patients compared to those without BPD. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of children who underwent tracheostomy at an age less than 6 months at a tertiary-care children's hospital between January 2012 and December 2022. Results: A total of 82 patients underwent tracheostomy at an age of less than 6 months, of which 42 (51.2%) had BPD. Patients with BPD were older at the time of tracheostomy (4.44 vs. 3.36 months, Conclusions: Tracheostomy-dependent infants with BPD had higher rates of glottic edema, subglottic stenosis, and laryngotracheal reconstruction but were more likely to be decannulated. These findings suggest that, despite increased airway pathology, tracheostomy is a safe and effective intervention in this population, with outcomes comparable to other pediatric cohorts. Level of Evidence: 4.
