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

Self-inflicted penetrating neck injury is a rare but highly lethal form of suicide attempt, often resulting in complex injuries to the upper airway and digestive tract. We report a case of a man in his 50s presenting with a complete supraglottic laryngeal and partial pharyngeal transection due to self-inflicted stab wounds. The initial assessment took place in a non-tertiary hospital, and an emergency airway access was achieved via tracheal intubation through the open cervical wound, followed by transfer to a level I trauma center and urgent surgical repair. A multidisciplinary team involving anesthesiology, intensive care, general surgery, and otorhinolaryngology ensured a favorable outcome. This case highlights the need for adaptable airway strategies and multidisciplinary collaboration in the management of traumatic airway disruption.
