Morphological manifestation of tuberculous pleurisy in children under medical thoracoscope and diagnostic value.

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
objectiveOur study analyzed the main manifestations of tuberculous pleurisy (TBP) in children under medical thoracoscopy (MT). This article aimed to explore the clinical application value of MT in the diagnosis and treatment of TBP in children.
methodsIn our study, we selected 23 TBP patients diagnosed in our hospital. We analyzed the clinical data and thoracoscopic morphology of these patients. At the same time, we also observed the pathological manifestations, acid-fast staining, and treatment effects of the patient's diseased tissue under MT.
resultsThe MT clinical findings of TBP patients include pleural hyperemia and edema, miliary nodules, scattered or more white nodules, simple pleural adhesion, wrapped pleural effusion, massive cellulose exudation, yellow-white caseous necrosis, pleural hyperplasia and hyperplasia, and mixed pleural necrosis. The positive rate of pleural biopsy was 73.91% and that of acid-fast staining was 34.78%. The main pathologic types of these patients were tuberculous granulomatous lesions (16 cases), caseous necrosis (5 cases), and fibrinous exudative, multinucleated giant cell and other inflammatory cell infiltration lesions (13 cases). The average time of diagnosis of the 23 patients was 8.32 days (5.0-16.0 days), and they were transferred to specialized hospitals for treatment after diagnosis. The mean time of chest drainage was 3.0-5.0 days after treatment. The average time for their body temperature to return to normal was 3.31 days (2.0-5.0 days).
conclusionThoracoscopic lesions of TBP in children are varied. The use of MT is not only helpful for the early diagnosis and treatment of TBP. It also protects and improves lung function. Therefore, the use of MT has high clinical value.
