Cricotracheostomy for Anatomically Challenging Severe Scoliosis: A Report of Two Adult Cases.
Article in Case reports in otolaryngology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Cricotracheostomy is a modified tracheostomy technique that involves partial resection of the anterior cricoid cartilage, which enables high-level airway access while minimizing the risk of subglottic stenosis. This report describes two adult cases of congenital scoliosis with complex skeletal deformities, including tracheal deviation and restricted neck extension, wherein conventional tracheostomy was challenging. In both cases, cricotracheostomy successfully provided stable airway access without complications such as granulation tissue formation, infection, or subglottic stenosis during follow-up. This report supports the utility of cricotracheostomy as the primary surgical approach in patients with severe skeletal deformities.
