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

Tracheo-innominate artery fistula is a rare but life-threatening complication of tracheostomy, even in chronic cases. A 22-year-old comatose man with a 2-year tracheostomy presented with sentinel bleeding followed by massive hemorrhage. Immediate measures included airway control, digital compression, and fluid resuscitation. Angiography confirmed a 3-mm fistula, and endovascular stenting achieved hemostasis. The patient was extubated on Day 5, with patent stent at 1-month follow-up but remained vegetative. Early recognition of sentinel bleeding and prompt endovascular intervention are critical for survival.
