Airway and Ventilation Rescue During Tracheal Resection: A Case Report of Intraoperative Troubleshooting.
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
Tracheal resection requires shared airway management when conventional ventilation fails. The present paper describes a 73-year-old man with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hypertension, and prior neck radiotherapy who underwent tracheal resection with primary anastomosis for chondrosarcoma. Initial intubation with a single-lumen endobronchial tube produced a major leak, requiring exchange to an endotracheal tube. Lung isolation with an EZ blocker® (Teleflex Life Sciences Ltd., Athlone, Ireland) was achieved but lost during thoracotomy in the lateral decubitus position with a chin stitch; an Arndt blocker also failed. Ventilation transitioned to high-frequency jet ventilation with intermittent apnea, cross-field ventilation, and intermittent endotracheal tube ventilation. A cuff rupture causing a leak was managed with cuff inflation, allowing successful extubation. The patient remained hemodynamically stable without complications and was discharged one week postoperatively at his functional baseline, with adequate oxygenation, good pain control, and full independence.
