Pediatric head and neck emergencies.
Review in Neuroradiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
purposeHead and neck emergencies in children are frequent cause of visits to the hospital. Imaging plays a critical role in the management of these patients. This review article aims to familiarize radiologists with the common clinical presentations encountered, imaging characteristics of nontraumatic pediatric head and neck emergencies, and improve their ability to recognize associated complications as well as be aware of common mimics.
methodsWe researched our database for commonly encountered nontraumatic head and neck emergencies in children. A literature search was done to compare and complete the list of conditions to be discussed in this review.
resultsThe review was organized according to anatomical location of the emergent condition. Relevant anatomy has been discussed along with clinical presentation, imaging characteristics and complications. We have presented common mimics with each set of disorders. Key imaging characteristics have been delineated using radiology images.
conclusionFamiliarity with the known complications of head and neck emergencies allows the radiologist to actively search for such findings, encourage early institution of appropriate therapy, and improve outcomes.
