Adverse Events of Tracheobronchial Stents: A MAUDE Database Study With Focus on Metallic Stents.
Article in Laryngoscope investigative otolaryngology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objectives: Tracheobronchial stents treat conditions that reduce airflow such as malignancy, tracheomalacia, and stenosis, but may fail and cause complications. This study aims to use the US Food and Drug Administration Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) database to understand adverse events related to tracheobronchial stent use to reduce future complications. Methods: The MAUDE database was searched for "Prosthesis, Tracheal, Expandable," "Prosthesis, Tracheal, Expandable, Polymeric," and "Prosthesis, Tracheal, Preformed/Molded" from January 2014 to December 2023. Reports were analyzed and complications were categorized. Results: We identified 525 reports. 405 (77.1%) reports listed indications including airway stenosis ( Conclusion: Most adverse events were related to technical failure while severe complications such as airway obstruction were few, and mortality was rare. These risks are important to note when utilizing tracheobronchial stents. Level of Evidence: 4.
