Eosinophilic plastic bronchitis: Case series and review of the literature.
Review in Pediatric pulmonology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Plastic bronchitis is a term used to describe group of life-threatening disorders characterized by the presence of large obstructing casts in the airways. Eosinophilic plastic bronchitis is a subtype of plastic bronchitis that occurs mainly in children and has not been well-described in the literature. Patients may have a history of asthma or atopy, but many do not. They often present with cough and wheezing, and frequently have complete collapse of one lung seen on imaging. The severity of presentation varies depending on the location of the casts, ranging from mild symptoms to severe airway obstruction and death. Bronchoscopy is often required to both diagnose and treat this condition. A variety of medical therapies have been used, although no formal studies have evaluated their efficacy. Symptoms may resolve after initial cast removal, but in some patients, cast formation recurs. Here, we report a case series of nine patients with eosinophilic plastic bronchitis and review the existing literature of this condition.
