Visualization and Analysis of the Role of an Inflated Tracheostomy Tube Cuff in the Human: A Preliminary Study.
Article in Tanaffos, 2025. 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
Background: This study aimed to reconstruct ultra-high-resolution computed tomography (CT) and three-dimensional CT images of tracheostomy tubes, including the shaft, flange, inflation line, and cuff, with a particular focus on examining the degree and fold formation of the inflated tracheostomy tube cuffs within the human trachea. Materials and Methods: All ten patients were inserted with a cuffed tracheostomy tube, and the cuff pressure was maintained at approximately 25 cmH Results: In this study, the pressure of the tracheostomy tube cuff was managed at an intracuff pressure; however, the degree of inflation of the tracheostomy tube cuffs and the form of the cuff folds inserted into the human trachea differed in each case. The distance between the skin and the tracheal anterior wall and the BMI value were associated with the inflation of the tracheostomy tube cuffs. Conclusion: In cases with distances greater than 25 mm between the skin and the tracheal anterior wall, we think it may be better to use other methods, such as tracheal fenestration, rather than simple tracheostomy. Examination of the size of the tracheostomy tube inserted into the human trachea, the degree of inflation of the tracheostomy tube cuff, and the position of the distal tip of the tracheostomy tube may help in the selection of an appropriate tracheostomy tube clinically.
