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

Dominant dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DDEB) is a rare inherited skin disorder characterized by extreme fragility of the skin and mucosa that poses significant challenges for anesthetic management. Herein, we report a case of a 65-year-old woman with DDEB who underwent a 13-hour surgery for mandibular cancer under general anesthesia. To prevent skin and mucosal injuries, meticulous perioperative strategies were implemented, including the use of barrier films and pressure-relieving pads and avoiding adhesive devices. High-flow nasal cannula oxygenation enabled awake fiberoptic intubation without the need for mask ventilation, minimizing the risk of blister formation and airway trauma. Despite the prolonged duration, no pressure ulcers or new skin injuries developed, other than minor epidermal peeling of the lips. This case demonstrates that comprehensive preoperative planning and intraoperative protection can ensure safe anesthesia in patients with DDEB undergoing long surgical procedures.
