High-flow nasal oxygen with flexible channel oxygen insufflation for ankylosing spondylitis and cervical fracture-dislocation: a case report and literature review.
Review in BMC anesthesiology, 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
backgroundAnkylosing spondylitis predisposes patients to cervical fracture and spinal cord injury after minor trauma. Tracheal intubation must therefore be performed with minimal cervical motion to avoid iatrogenic neurological damage, a challenge for the anaesthetist. CASE PRESENTATION: A 41-year-old man with ankylosing spondylitis sustained a traumatic fracture of the seventh cervical spine, with displacement and spinal cord compression. After thorough airway assessment, he received high-flow nasal oxygen to maintain oxygenation, combined with oxygen insufflation through the flexible working channel. Following induction of general anaesthesia and muscle relaxation, a fibrescope was advanced into the trachea without cervical spine movement, and intubation was successfully completed.
conclusionIn the present case, combining high-flow nasal oxygen with oxygen insufflation through the flexible working channel permits flexible intubation while avoiding cervical motion and securing the airway safely.
