Positron emission tomography evidence of tracheal tube-induced posterior laryngeal pressure injury.
Article in Anaesthesia reports. 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
Tracheal tubes are essential for airway management during general anaesthesia but can cause mucosal pressure injuries, especially with prolonged procedures and larger tube sizes. We report a case of a 74-year-old woman who underwent a 3.5-hour robot-assisted bronchoscopy with endobronchial biopsies with an 8.0 mm tracheal tube, later presenting with a severe protracted sore throat. Review of her post-procedural positron emission tomography scan uniquely revealed focal F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose uptake along the posterior larynx, consistent with localised inflammation from tracheal intubation, a demonstration which has yet to be described. This case highlights positron emission tomography imaging as an incidental but compelling visualisation of intubation-related laryngeal pressure injury.
