Bronchoscopy in children with COVID-19: A case series.
Article in Pediatric pulmonology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
introductionThe coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) era is a challenging time for respiratory teams to protect their patients and staff. COVID-19 is predominantly transmitted by respiratory droplets; in the clinical setting, aerosol generating procedures pose the greatest risk for COVID-19 transmission. Bronchoscopy is associated with increased risk of patient-to-health care worker transmission, owing to aerosolized viral particles which may be inhaled and also result in environmental contamination of surfaces.
methodsWe describe our experience with the use of modified full-face snorkeling masks for pediatric bronchoscopy procedures in four COVID-19 infected children when filtering facepieces/respirators were in limited supply.
resultsBronchoscopy was urgently required in four children, and could not be delayed until COVID-19 test results were available. During the pandemic peak, when respirators were in short supply, modified full-face snorkel masks (SEAC Libera, SEAC, Italy) were worn by the bronchoscopy team. Each mask was fitted with an O-ring, adapter, and heat and moisture exchanger filter. To date, there have been no COVID-19 infections among the bronchoscopy team staff, whereas the overall Hospital staff COVID-19 prevalence rate has exceeded 13.5% (667/4949).
conclusionEmergency bronchoscopy procedures on COVID-19 infected patients or patients with unknown infection status can be safely performed using modified full-face snorkel masks.
