Plastic bronchitis due to adenoviral infection: a case report.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundPlastic bronchitis (PB) frequently occurs as a serious postoperative complication of the Fontan procedure. The definitive causes of PB are unknown. CASE PRESENTATION: Herein, we report a pediatric case of PB secondary to adenoviral infection. A 4-year-old girl was admitted to the general pediatric ward for cough since 2 weeks and fever since 11 days. Consolidated lesions were noted in the right upper and both lower lung lobes. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was performed because the patient's respiratory failure remained unalleviated despite the use of a ventilator. Bronchial dendritic casts were extracted using flexible bronchoscopy, and the patient's breathing improved. Pathological examination of the dendritic cast confirmed the diagnosis of type I PB. The exfoliated cells of sputum and cells from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were positive for adenoviral antigen. Human adenovirus 7 was detected by next-generation sequencing of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. The patient recovered and was discharged 39 days after admission without recurrence of cough or wheezing.
conclusionsPB due to human adenovirus 7 infection should be considered in children with persistent respiratory failure. Flexible bronchoscopy should be performed early to confirm diagnosis and to remove any airway obstruction.
