Clavicular Head Subluxation Resulting in Tracheal Compromise in an Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type III Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) poses many known challenges to anesthesiologists; however, structural and functional abnormalities of the trachea have not previously been described. OI results in fragile and brittle bones due to a defect in type 1 collagen production. Perioperative anesthetic considerations include risk of fracture with patient positioning, potential for difficult airway, and managing restrictive lung disease in conjunction with spinal deformities. Our case describes an adolescent male patient with OI type III who was found to have significant tracheal compromise and airway obstruction with the induction of general anesthesia for spinal fusion. Bronchoscopy performed after intubation revealed a compression and tortuosity of the distal trachea, confirmed with a postoperative computed tomography angiogram. Subluxation of the right clavicular head caused tracheal compression and narrowing. This is the first reported case of a patient with OI type III with undiagnosed tracheal compression and deviation secondary to clavicular head subluxation.
