General Anesthetic Exposure in the Management of Pediatric Subglottic Stenosis.

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
Objectives: This study describes time spent under general anesthesia (GA) and number of procedures in children with subglottic stenosis (SGS) treated with endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD), laryngotracheal reconstruction (LTR), or both. Methods: Children treated for SGS surgically between November 2014 through August 2020 were included. Patients with completed treatment course, defined as not having an airway intervention for a 12-month period, were included. All procedures important to the overall management of SGS were included. Results: Thirty-one children met inclusion criteria. Median age at first procedure was < 1 year of age, with 80.6% of patients undergoing GA before age 3. Children who had an LTR ( Conclusions: GA exposure and number of procedures increased with increasing degree of stenosis. Undergoing LTR predicted a significant increase in GA exposure and number of procedures compared to patients managed with EBDs alone. While anesthesia exposure may not be a decisive factor in selecting a treatment course, it remains an important topic to discuss with parents, especially given increasing awareness of its potential risks to neurocognitive development.
