Tracheal agenesis diagnosed by supraglottic airway-assisted endoscopic evaluation during neonatal resuscitation: a case report.
Article in JA clinical reports, 2026. 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
backgroundTracheal agenesis is an exceptionally rare and typically lethal congenital airway anomaly presenting with failed intubation. We report a case of unrecognized tracheal agenesis in which supraglottic airway-assisted ventilation enabled concurrent fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation during neonatal resuscitation. CASE PRESENTATION: A preterm male neonate born at 31 weeks and 1 day of gestation with polyhydramnios and suspected duodenal atresia developed severe respiratory failure immediately after delivery. Repeated attempts at tracheal intubation were unsuccessful despite vocal cord–like structures being seen. Placement of a size 0.5 supraglottic airway (Air-Q®) resulted in transient partial ventilation with intermittent colorimetric carbon dioxide detection, permitting fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation. Endoscopy demonstrated a blind-ending subglottic pouch and a distal tracheoesophageal fistula, strongly suggesting tracheal agenesis; computed tomography subsequently confirmed the diagnosis of Floyd type II tracheal agenesis.
conclusionsEarly supraglottic airway-assisted endoscopic evaluation may facilitate rapid recognition of tracheal agenesis during neonatal resuscitation and support timely, multidisciplinary decision-making after failed intubation.
