1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Accidental sand aspiration is an unusual but potentially life-threatening condition in children. Sand aspiration often occurs in cases of near drowning and accidental burial in sand. The authors report a case of accidental sand aspiration in a 14-mo-old girl while she was playing with sand. Though child was symptomatic and chest radiograph was showing obstructive emphysema initially, there was spontaneous resolution of radiographic findings and clinical condition within 48 h. Child was treated conservatively and was discharged. Follow up examination after 2 mo revealed persistent wheeze but no respiratory distress. Computed tomography (CT) of thorax was done which revealed a small sand particle measuring 0.2 × 0.4 × 0.3 cm in left main bronchus and was removed via rigid bronchoscopy. This report underscores the importance of performing bronchoscopy in all cases of suspected foreign body aspirations.
