Endobronchial lesion in a premature neonate.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Endobronchial and endotracheal tumours are rare in the paediatric population, especially in neonates. The common presentation is respiratory distress with persistent lung collapse or hyperinflation. Treatment usually involves endoscopic or surgical lobar resection. This case presents a preterm neonate who developed acute respiratory distress with persistent right upper lobe atelectasis. A flexible bronchoscopy showed a pediculate violaceous endobronchial lesion in the right main bronchus. Endoscopic resection was not possible due to the patient's low weight and the decision was made to support the patient with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) at home, while monitoring her closely. Remarkably, the lesion spontaneously resolved, and CPAP support was discontinued successfully. The case emphasises the importance of early bronchoscopy, continuous monitoring and the possibility of using CPAP support until conditions are reunited for an eventual resection. This unique case also demonstrates the potential for spontaneous resolution in some cases.
