In situ laser fenestration of Metallic covered stent for the treatment of malignant Central Airway Stenosis: A case report.
Article in Respiratory medicine case 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
Malignant central airway stenosis is a life-threatening complication of respiratory malignancies. Self-expanding covered metal stents are an effective treatment, offering self-adaptability without the need for customization, making them suitable for emergency use. Y-shaped stents are preferred in most cases due to their low migration risk. However, they may cover the right upper lobe bronchus, leading to atelectasis, which requires intervention. This is the first reported case of central airway stenosis caused by bronchial metastasis from colon cancer. After placement of a Y-shaped covered stent, endobronchial modification using a YAG laser was performed to restore right upper lobe ventilation. The procedure successfully relieved the patient's dyspnea. This case provides clinical reference value, though further reports are needed to confirm its generalizability.
