Transbronchoscopic cryotherapy for a giant sputum plug straddling the tracheal carina: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 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
patient concernsA 69-year-old male patient, who has had laryngeal cancer for 24 years and is currently in a tracheostomy state, was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer one month ago. After one cycle of chemoradiation, the patient visited the clinic complaining of breathlessness for the past two days. DIAGNOSES: A chest computed tomography scan revealed a strip-shaped, columnar, and high-density lesion in the lumen of the trachea as well as in the right and left main bronchi, which was initially thought to be secreted. Histopathological examination confirmed the presence of a sputum plug characterized by mucus components, inflammatory exudates, and necrotic tissue.
