Airway Management of Patient With Mounier-Kuhn Syndrome: A Case Report.

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
Mounier-Kuhn syndrome (MKS) is a rare disorder characterised by tracheobronchomegaly, which poses significant anaesthetic challenges due to air leaks during mechanical ventilation. We report a 65-year-old male with previously undiagnosed MKS who underwent cardiac surgery. Following intubation with an 8-mm endotracheal tube (ETT), a persistent air leak resulted in inadequate ventilation despite tube repositioning and upsizing to a 9-mm ETT. Preoperative chest imaging revealed significant tracheal dilation. To achieve adequate ventilation, we implemented a modified technique: advancing the ETT into the right main bronchus, then retracting until bilateral breath sounds were audible, supplemented by gauze packing to reinforce the seal. This case underscores the importance of preoperative recognition of MKS to anticipate ventilation difficulties. The described technique, adapted from tracheoesophageal fistula management, effectively resolved the air leaks complication.
