Life-Saving Multidisciplinary Management of Self-Inflicted Tracheal Transection: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Self-inflicted cut-throat injuries, often associated with severe psychiatric disorders and exacerbated by socioeconomic factors, present significant medical complexities. Here, we present the case of a 45-year-old male with major depressive disorder who attempted suicide with a sword, resulting in complete tracheal transection. Upon admission, he presented with severe respiratory distress and hemorrhage, necessitating immediate fluid resuscitation and immediate airway securing with pediatric fiberoptic bronchoscopy, which successfully stabilized his airway. The surgical intervention included end-to-end tracheal anastomosis and T-tube placement without immediate complications. Postoperatively, the patient required intensive care with ventilator support and psychiatric intervention. Successful management of severe self-inflicted neck injuries relies on prompt airway control, precise surgical techniques, and comprehensive postoperative care to mitigate complications such as sepsis and tracheal stenosis.
