Acquired Subglottic Cyst in a Premature Infant Following Recurrent Intubation: A Case Report.
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
Acquired subglottic cysts are retention cysts that develop as a consequence of iatrogenic trauma to the subglottic mucosa. They are most commonly observed in neonates with a history of prematurity and repeated endotracheal intubation. These cysts may lead to nonspecific symptoms of airway obstruction, such as persistent stridor. We present the case of a premature infant born at 26 weeks of gestation who developed an acquired subglottic cyst following multiple episodes of intubation for recurrent respiratory distress. After persistent respiratory symptoms and an unsuccessful attempt at bronchoscopy, further evaluation using direct laryngoscopy confirmed the presence of a subglottic cyst. This case highlights the importance of recognizing this uncommon but clinically significant condition in premature infants and emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach in diagnosis and management to prevent potentially serious airway complications. It also explores the association between prematurity, low birth weight, and prolonged airway support in the development of subglottic cysts, highlighting the need for further research in this area.
