1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

A 10-year-old patient underwent metallic stent implantation in the trachea and right main bronchus for tracheal stenosis caused by extramural compression from a posterior mediastinal malignant rhabdoid tumour. Following chemoradiotherapy, the tumour entered remission. One year and 6 months after stent placement, refractory granulation tissue formed in the tracheal stent. The stent was removed using a rigid bronchoscope under general anaesthesia with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to prevent granulation recurrence. Thereafter, no recurrence of granulation occurred in the tracheal stent within 2 years; however, refractory granulation developed in the right main bronchial stent. Removal of the right main bronchial stent was considered. However, as sputum frequently adhered to the retention suture of the stent, the retention suture was removed using a flexible bronchoscope. Since then, there has been no granulation for more than 10 months.
