Multimodal imaging-guided awake transnasal fiberoptic tracheal intubation in a patient with giant palatal pleomorphic adenoma: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 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
We report the case of an 80-year-old male with a giant palatal pleomorphic adenoma (7.0 × 5.0 × 5.5 cm) that caused progressive dyspnea, dysphagia, and oropharyngeal airway distortion after 40 years of indolent growth. To our knowledge, this represents one of the largest documented cases in which awake transnasal tracheal intubation was performed for an intraoral tumor. Preoperative evaluation revealed nasopharyngeal-nasal junction narrowing, a mouth opening of 3 cm, Mallampati grade IV, and preserved glottic function. Multimodal imaging-including MRI, 3D CT reconstruction, and fiberoptic laryngoscopy-was critical in delineating tumor extent and airway anatomy, guiding a tailored airway management strategy. Awake transnasal fiberoptic tracheal intubation was performed via the right nostril using dexmedetomidine sedation, topical and regional anesthesia, and ultrasound-guided superior laryngeal nerve blocks. Intubation was successful on the first attempt, without the need for tracheotomy or procedural complications. The procedure lasted 90 minutes, with minimal blood loss and stable hemodynamics. The patient was extubated on postoperative day 1, discharged on day 10, and remained clinically stable at 6-month follow-up.
