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

Background: The rare concurrence of Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) and obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) presents significant anesthetic challenges, with complexity in airway management and perioperative respiratory care. Case Presentation: A 55-year-old man with SWS and OHS underwent elective dental extraction. He was advised to undergo continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy (10 cmH Conclusions: Awake fiberoptic intubation and the use of HFNO under strict ventilatory monitoring, as a rescue or bridging strategy, can facilitate safe anesthetic management in high-risk patients with SWS and OHS who are CPAP-intolerant. This case highlights the importance of multidisciplinary planning and individualized respiratory support strategies.
