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

backgroundPlastic bronchitis is an uncommon but severe respiratory disease characterized by formation of casts in tracheobronchial tree. It can lead to airway obstruction and even respiratory failure. CASE PRESENTATION: Plastic bronchitis is mostly seen in both post-cardiac surgery patients, especially Fontan procedure, and infections including those caused by influenza viruses, Mycoplasma pneumoniae or tuberculosis. But it has rarely been reported to be associated with adenovirus infection. We report 2 cases of plastic bronchitis arising from adenovirus serotype 7 infection, manifested in repeated high fever, cough, and progressive dyspnea, and were diagnosed and eventually cured by bronchoscopy.

conclusionsPlastic bronchitis is a rare, variable and potentially fatal disease. In the cases we described, the cause was associated with adenovirus serotype 7 and its treatment required intervention with bronchoscopy and adequate control of the underlying disease.
