Submental Intubation in Panfacial Trauma: A Pictorial Demonstration With Anesthetic Considerations.
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
Airway management in patients with panfacial trauma is particularly challenging when both nasal and oral routes are unsuitable. Submental intubation serves as an effective alternative to tracheostomy in such scenarios. We report the case of a 30-year-old male who presented with mandibular and nasal bone fractures following a road traffic accident. Limited mouth opening and the need for intraoperative maxillomandibular fixation made conventional airway approaches unsuitable. Submental intubation was performed after initial oral intubation to facilitate surgical access. The procedure was completed successfully without complications. This case highlights the role of submental intubation as a safe, reliable, and less invasive alternative to tracheostomy in selected maxillofacial trauma cases.
