Silent Post-intubation Tracheal Stenosis Unmasked by Status Epilepticus in a Paediatric Neurotrauma Survivor: A Triple Jeopardy Airway Crisis.

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
Post-intubation tracheal stenosis (PITS) can remain clinically silent until a physiological stressor precipitates life-threatening airway failure. This case report describes a 15-year-old male, a survivor of traumatic brain injury requiring prolonged endotracheal intubation, who presented in active convulsive status epilepticus with a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 4 and oxygen saturation of 43%. Sequential endotracheal intubation with three tube sizes failed, establishing a cannot intubate, cannot oxygenate (CICO) scenario. Emergency flexible bronchoscopy, performed with a laryngeal mask airway as a ventilatory bridge, revealed fully mobile vocal cords but a pinpoint subglottic lumen through which the bronchoscope could not advance, consistent with Myer-Cotton Grade III-IV PITS. Critical respiratory acidosis was confirmed: pH 6.95, partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO
