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 72-year-old, 127-cm, 53-kg female presented to our hospital after her surgery was canceled at an outside hospital due to multiple failed awake fiberoptic intubation attempts. She required a total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, and pelvic lymph node dissection for endometrial cancer. Given the prior failed awake attempts, we performed an asleep, paralyzed, combined video laryngoscope and fiberoptic oral intubation. The decision-making, actions, and risk mitigation provide an interesting case for discussion.
