Advanced Extubation Strategy in a Pediatric Difficult Airway: Successful Use of a Cook Staged Extubation Set.
Article in Cureus, 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
We report the case of a 14-year-old girl with a large cervical venous malformation extending to the pharyngeal mucosa who underwent sclerotherapy with bleomycin and polidocanol. Given the risk of airway obstruction and bleeding, awake fiberoptic intubation was performed under sedation with ketamine and dexmedetomidine. Extubation was deferred until postoperative day 6 due to persistent edema and residual malformation. A staged extubation strategy using a Cook Staged Extubation Set (CSES) (Cook Medical, Bloomington, IN, USA) was selected to ensure safe airway control. The device was well tolerated for 12 hours without complications or the need for reintubation. To our knowledge, this is the first reported pediatric case describing the successful use of a CSES for planned extubation of an anatomically difficult airway. This case underscores the importance of individualized extubation planning and multidisciplinary collaboration in pediatric airway management.
