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

Introduction: Cricothyroidotomy establishes an emergency surgical airway, but concerns persist that cricothyroidotomy only (CO) may be associated with higher rates of tracheal stenosis than revision to tracheostomy (RT). We characterized the incidence of RT and rates of tracheal stenosis. Methods: We identified patients aged 19-90 years of age undergoing cricothyroidotomy in the TriNetX database from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2020. We divided patients into CO or RT groups. The primary outcome of interest was 1-year cumulative incidence of tracheal stenosis. Results: Six hundred and sixty-eight patients underwent cricothyroidotomy (mean age 50 standard deviation 19 years, 76% male, 34% with cardiac arrest, and 29% head injury) of whom 355 (53.1%) underwent RT. Accounting for 1-year mortality (56.7% CO vs. 34.5% RT, Conclusion: Cumulative incidence of 1-year mortality is high in patients undergoing cricothyroidotomy, while RT is associated with increased risk of tracheal stenosis.
